Two years after Jenn Todryk decided to put her popular HGTV show on “pause,” she says she did so at the “perfect time.” Though HGTV regularly airs reruns of “No Demo Reno,” in which Todryk transformed spaces without any demolition, the network hasn’t aired new episodes since December 2023.
On March 14, 2026, the Texas mom of three school-aged kids — son Von and daughters Berkley and Vivienne — shared in her Instagram Stories that she’s now relieved she said no to a fourth season so she could be more present for her family.
Jenn Todryk Says She Didn’t Want Her Kids to Grow Up on a Set
Todryk, who has 1.9 million followers on Instagram, posted a throwback photo in her Stories of an HGTV camera crew filming her as she held up paint samples and one of her daughters clung to her legs on the floor.
“I do think I chose to walk away at the perfect time,” Todryk wrote over the photo about her show. “I didn’t want my kids to spend their childhood on a ‘set,’ I didn’t want their home and safe space to feel like a set or be at home while I was away.”
Todryk continued, “I see pictures like this and think, what a cool part of my story and not wishing it was my only story and for that I am SO grateful! 🥹❤️”
Jenn Todryk Admits She Was a ‘Control Freak’ During Filming of ‘No Demo Reno’
During the March 4 episode of “You, Me & Mike,” the podcast Todryk hosts with her husband, they discussed how stressful filming “No Demo Reno” had become three years ago, thanks in part to her being a self-professed “control freak” who insisted on being an executive producer and part of the editing process.
“No one understands until your entire character, integrity and image as a person is in the hands of someone else,” she lamented. “And a rough edit can literally destroy (you) nowadays.”
Her husband, Mike, noted how hard it was for her to work with different production teams from one season to the next, and said that would have to change if she were ever to return to the show.
“You would have new people … like, the second season wasn’t the same editing team,” he recalled. “I think, you know, if you choose to keep going eventually, if you had the same consistency, it probably would have created a lot more trust.”
“I know, it’s just the turnover with that industry,” Todryk replied, explaining that team members, often contracted to help with her show, would leave if other production companies offered higher-paying gigs or projects located closer to their families.
In March 2025, Todryk told TV Insider, “I am super grateful that I have a really awesome relationship with HGTV. I know that the door is open so whenever I want to make content, I can. That’s something I’m really grateful for. But life is so busy right now, I’m just trying to survive with all the home life stuff now. But HGTV is great and I really have loved working with them.”
For those missing “No Demo Reno,” a four-episode marathon is scheduled to air on March 19 beginning at 9 a.m. Eastern time. All three seasons are also available to stream via HBO Max and Discovery+.
