    HGTV has yet to address the shocking amount of shows either in limbo — or canceled completely — but what have the network’s stars said about the shakeups?

    The programming shifts started in June 2025 when HGTV came under fire for canceling five shows: Battle on the Beach, Farmhouse Fixer, Married to Real Estate, Bargain Block and Izzy Does It.

    HGTV’s website, however, shared a page one month later that highlighted shows currently seeking participants. There were 11 shows on the page, suggesting those programs would be returning for further seasons, including a new Property Brothers show, a third season of Down Home Fab With Chelsea and Cole DeBoer, another season of My Lottery Dream Home and House Hunters.

    The network also announced a new series with Bobby Berk following his time on Queer Eye. At the time, Drew and Jonathan Scott’s new show Chasing the West was pushed back several weeks, while the second season of Don’t Hate Your House With the Property Brothers was delayed.

    That same month, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that Tarek and Heather Rae El Moussa’s Flipping El Moussas is “not coming back” to HGTV. The same goes for Christina Haack’s series Christina on the Coast, which has also “not been renewed.”

    According to a second insider, the trio’s The Flip Off is meant to be “back for a second season, but there is no filming date or air date yet.”

    Keep scrolling to see what some HGTV personalities have said about their shows and their future at the network:

    Egypt Sherrod and her husband, Mike Jackson, spoke out in June 2025 about the status of their show.

    “Mike and I just landed back in the States after an unforgettable family trip through the Mediterranean, and we’re met with unexpected news: HGTV has decided not to move forward with Married to Real Estate,” read the couple’s joint statement. “While the chain of events leading up to this is disheartening, we are deeply grateful. Grateful for four incredible seasons. Grateful for our amazing crew and supportive fans. Grateful that our businesses continue to thrive. And most of all-grateful that we are still very much married to real estate (and to each other).”

    Sherrod and Jackson continued: “There’s more to say, and we’ll share soon. But for now, know this: not all setbacks are what they seem. Some blessings show up in disguise. We’ve been here before. We’ll keep counting those blessings-and keep it moving. Stay tuned.”

    Jonathan Knight weighed in on the future of his show amid the network backlash.

    “A lot of you have been asking about the future of Farmhouse Fixer. I am sad to say HGTV has decided not to move forward with another season,” Knight wrote in an Instagram post in June 2025. “While I’m still processing the reasons that led to their decision, Kristina and I are so grateful for all your support over the past three seasons. Television has been so incredibly fun for us. We are so proud of what we created together and look forward to sharing what’s next for us.”

    In the comments section, Knight received support from his New Kids on the Block bandmate Donnie Wahlberg, who replied, “On to the next one! You got this. We are all ready for what you do next!”

    Izzy Battres addressed having to wrap up Izzy Does It after one season.

    “It’s a wrap for the show — no season 2 ahead, but we’re truly grateful for all of you!” he responded to one Instagram fan in June 2025. “We won’t be coming back for a 2nd season, but the support has meant the world!”

    Battres added: “No season 2 but we’re so grateful for all the love you’ve shown us!!”

    Alison Victoria broke the news in July 2025 that her series with Ty Pennington and Taniya Nayak was not coming back.

    “I did a show called Battle on the Beach. I love that show. It was so fun and funny. And then all of a sudden, I watched the episode, I’m like, ‘Well, where’d all that [great content] go? I get it, it’s a lot of content to try to put into 42 minutes, but where is it? Where’s the great editing?’” she shared on her “Pap Smear” podcast. “You’ll lose a show that way. I truly believe that. Battle on the Beach did not get picked back up, which is sad, because it was like adult spring break.”

    ‘Rehab Addict’

    With numerous shows being pulled off the air, Rehab Addict’s Nicole Curtis spoke out about her program suddenly being unavailable to view.

    “I made the executive decision to shelf the rest of our new shows until fall. I appreciate your support and understanding for the late notice,” Curtis, 48, wrote via Instagram in July 2025. “It’s just a lot of hours (my hours) to get a show on air and we (my family + me) thought – why are we giving up summer when we have the ability to do this in the fall?”

    Curtis clarified that her show wasn’t replaced by My Lottery Dream Home because of a cancellation.

    “Thank you to the powers at be at HGTV that were receptive to our idea. … Without a doubt, I, truly, am beyond happy with this decision as I just spent the day with a phone that was dead and had no worries about it,” Curtis continued. “They are airing Lottery Dream Home in my place.”

    She concluded: “Fun fact, [Lottery Dream Home host] David Bromstad was my pregnancy beach buddy as we were filming and living next to each other in Gulf Shores, Alabama, for Beach Flip. … So, don’t be spreading rumors that he replaced me — I chose it.”
