New & Returning HGTV Shows Premiering in September 2026
A new season of a returning HGTV favorite comes to the network in September, plus a few new shows join the schedule. There’s a little something for everyone!
“Botched Homes” premieres on September 2 at 10 p.m. ET. According to an HGTV press release, “General contractor and master craftsman Charlie Kawas will rescue South Florida homeowners from some of the region’s most disastrous renovation projects.” In the series, Kawas (along with an expert designer and crew) “transforms homes plagued by shoddy workmanship, dangerous conditions and dysfunctional layouts into safe, beautiful and functional spaces.”
“A Very Haunted Renovation” kicks off on September 15 at 8 p.m. ET. Actress Anna Camp hosts the competition series, with six designers living in Bihl Manor, “a tormented mansion in Fremont, Ohio,” for 31 day. They’ll complete renovations in hopes of winning the $50,000 cash prize. “Design expert Michel Smith Boyd will mentor and evaluate each unnerving overhaul alongside esteemed guest judges including: production designer Hannah Beachler, paranormal investigator Jack Osbourne, actor Billy Porter, actress Cassandra Peterson, horror film director Eli Roth and actress Lulu Wilson,” HGTV shares in a press release.
“Scariest House in America” returns for season 3 on September 18 at 9 p.m. ET with host Retta on the hunt for “the country’s most spine-tingling properties.” The premiere episode sees the comedian going to Florida, Ohio and West Virginia, “with her first stop at a foreboding concrete monstrosity riddled with creepy shadows and rattling doorknobs. Additional haunts will include a gingerbread-style cottage home to friendly ghosts, an unsettling 1920s observatory and a Victorian hotspot for paranormal activity.”
“House Shock” is a new renovation series premiering on September 22 at 9 p.m. ET. “Host and designer Arielle Vandenberg will team up with expert contractor and former ‘Battle on the Beach’ winner Steve Lewis to help pull off surprise overhauls of spaces the recipients have dreamed of updating, whether neglected, abandoned or just plain despised,” HGTV shares. “Sneaky loved ones will nominate unsuspecting homeowners for secret room makeovers” on the show.

Most of HGTV’s new shows are pleasant to watch one time but are not the “don’t want to miss” kind or the ones I will watch over and over again. REnovation Aloha, Home Town, Fixer to Fab, Bargain Block etc. are ones I love watching. I am now catching up on shows on other channels instead of having my tv always on HGTV.
Still a no go for me with these shows. I enjoyed all the other shows like Bargain Block, Fixer to Fab, Hometown, Unsellable Houses, I used to like Love it or List it, with Hillary Farr.
The Food Network is all competition, Magnolia Network is mostly all repeats of Joanna and Chip’s old shows…
Discovery Plus houses content from Discovery-owned networks including Discovery, TLC, HGTV, Food Network, Cooking Channel, Animal Planet, ID, Trvl Channel, OWN, Science Channel and DIY Network.
I hope Paramount buys Discovery Communications already, maybe then they will bring back the shows we liked.
Taking off good home and remodeling shows. Not worth the watch any longer.
Please get rid of the silly shows like Zillow and scariest etc! Get back to the basics of renovations and decorating!
HGTV was my go to every night. Now it’s a disappointment. They just don’t realize when they have a good thing.
And honestly I don’t care about ANY of the shows listed! I want, and millions have requested, Bargain Block to return! Where is it? Also Farmhouse Fixer! Where is it? Instead you leave all these stupid shows on that we are sick of! Please just give us back what we really want!!
I have to say these new shows just don’t have the appeal the older ones have. The hosts of the older shows were like weekly visitors we looked forward to and their makeovers and projects were fun to watch and made you want more. These newer ones? Not so much. I get it that some of the hosts have decided to move on which is fine, they deserve it. However, try and find new hosts who are talented and likable. Just not getting onto the vibe of the upcoming shows. Stick to what people like and you’ll keep your audience.
