Bleeding HGTV makes sweeping changes in last-ditch attempt to save network amid crisis
HGTV has cancelled seven shows in a bid to cut costs and bring the network into a new era. In recent weeks, the channel has axed Farmhouse Fixer, Izzy Does It, The Flipping El Moussas, Christina on the Coast, Married to Real Estate, Battle on the Beach, and Bargain Block, which has left fans furious. According to Deadline, the bold decision to cull the seven programs was to help free up some money. The publication reports that HGTV home renovation shows can cost up to $500,000 per episode compared to real estate shows, which costs somewhere between $200,000 and $300,000, and can be produced in a shorter period. 'Home reno shows are expensive because all of the materials are jacked up and on delay, the price of wood and marble and everything else is going up so these shows don't make as much sense anymore,' one source told Deadline. On top of budget issues, a producer claimed some talent were being paid up to $100,000 an episode and were 'afraid to say no.' 'They allowed their talent to run amok,' an insider alleged. 'They gave them some form of creative control and that's harming their own shows. They were so afraid of talent they never said no and the shows aren't delivering anymore. 'They kowtowed to talent and now they're suffering the consequences.' Additionally, the publication claimed that HGTV has been struggling with ratings, as well as competition from TikTok stars and other channels. 'I don't know if it's a show thing as much of an audience thing where a lot of people are dropping cable,' another source said. 'There was a time when people would just put on HGTV when they were cleaning.' Daily Mail has contacted HGTV for comment. Despite the bloodbath, HGTV does have new programming on the way. Property Brothers Drew and Jonathan Scott are returning with a brand new show, Chasing the West, which is set to premiere on July 30. The eight-part series will see them help buyers find their dream ranch. Earlier this month, HGTV announced Queer Eye's Bobby Berk will front a new series, Junk or Jackpot, which 'follows collectors as they discover the true monetary value of their massive and unusual collections.' The show is executive produced by John Cena. My Lottery Dream and Zillow Gone Wild both returned to the network this month. My Lottery Dream, hosted by David Bromstad, sees him 'help clients purchase their fantasy homes with their newly attained fortunes.' 'No matter where these lucky buyers want to settle, David won't stop until he finds luxurious properties that deliver every feature on a lottery winner's wish list,' the synopsis teases. Meanwhile, Zillow Gone Wild follows comedian and actor Jack McBrayer as he searches the internet for the weirdest, wackiest and wildest properties on the market inspired by the exceedingly popular Instagram account that touts more than two million followers.

HGTV shockingly cancels FOUR shows with more on the chopping block
HGTV has axed Farmhouse Fixer, Bargain Block, Married to Real Estate, and Izzy Does It in a shocking cancellation spree – and there are growing fears over the fate of its other shows. The network's substantial cuts to its programming output in recent days have ignited concern amongst fans and fellow hosts as they await updates on whether other shows have been shelved. The future of Luxe for Less and Unsellable Houses has yet to be announced. Farmhouse Fixer host Jonathan Knight confirmed his show, which he co-presented alongside Kristina Crestin, had been canned on Wednesday after three seasons. 'A lot of you have been asking about the future of Farmhouse Fixer,' he said. 'I am sad to say HGTV has decided not to move forward with another season. '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.' Bargain Block host Keith Bynum broke the news of the show's cancellation last week. 'We do have a few more episodes coming out in August, actually starting on Evan's birthday,' he said in an Instagram Story, referring to his co-host and partner, Evan Thomas. 'But they are the remainder of Season 4 'cause they did not renew the show for Season 5.' In a separate grid post, he continued: 'Our entire business and lives have been put through the ringer at the hands of a giant corporation, yet we persist lol. 'Though you may not be seeing us for much longer on HGTV, we're excited that we've built such an amazing base of followers and we're very excited about the future.' Married to Real Estate's hosts Mike Jackson and Egypt Sherrod also addressed their show's axe in a statement and described the decision as 'unexpected.' '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,' it read. '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).' They also hinted at some acrimony with HGTV, indicating while the cancellation was a surprise, it may have also been a blessing in disguise. '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,' they added. 'We've been here before. We'll keep counting those blessings-and keep it moving. Stay tuned,' the statement concluded. The post was captioned: 'Sometimes GOD will rip you out of a situation to set you up for your next!' Egypt is the CEO of the Egypt Sherrod Real Estate Group, while Mike is the owner of Jackson Draper Renovations. They both served as judges on HGTV's Rock the Block in Season 2, and competed themselves in Season 3, prevailing as champions. Egypt also hosted HGTV's Flipping Virgins from 2015 to 2018, and they both host the successful Marriage & Money podcast as well. While Izzy Battres, the host of Izzy Does It, hasn't issued a statement directly addressing his show's cancellation, he did respond to a fan to express his thanks. 'Unfortunately, no season two,' he said, 'but we're truly, thankful for everyone watching and supporting us!!'
