The HGTV August 2026 schedule is here, just as the summer is starting to wind down. Check out what to watch on HGTV in August — including one new show that will help you ease into back to school season with some vintage nostalgia.
New HGTV Show Premieres in August 2026
HGTV’s August 2026 schedule is relatively quiet for premieres, with only one brand-new competition series — “Totally ’90s House” — kicking off on August 26 at 9 p.m. ET. The six-episode renovation competition show sees ’90s television stars modernizing homes stuck in that era.
Hosted by Jaleel White (“Family Matters”), two teams “will face a massive challenge — modernize the dated spaces while preserving their nostalgic charm in hopes of creating the ideal ’90s-inspired dream home — to win bragging rights and $25,000 for their chosen charity.”
Brian Austin Green (“Beverly Hills, 90210”), Beverley Mitchell (“7th Heaven”), and Jodie Sweetin (“Full House”) face off against Melissa Joan Hart (“Sabrina the Teenage Witch”), Matthew Lawrence (“Boy Meets World”), and Keshia Knight Pulliam (“The Cosby Show”), with a little help from Matthew’s brother Joey Lawrence (“Blossom”), the HGTV press release notes.
Carter Oosterhouse (“Carter Can”) and Sabrina Soto (“The High Low Project”) serve as mentors. Guest judges include 98 degrees singer Drew Lachey, “Trading Spaces” host Paige Davis, designer Jonathan Adler, and HGTV stars Mina Starsiak Hawk, Vern Yip, and Brian and Mika Kleinschmidt.
There’s also a companion YouTube series called “HGTV’s House Call: ’90s Edition,” featuring a DIY expert helping ’90s celebrities with their home improvement projects.
