HGTV and Discovery+ Adding 20 New Shows Before End of the Year

HGTV and discovery+ are poised to close out 2021 in a big way. With the year now more than halfway over, the home renovation and design network and the young streaming service are gearing up to premiere 20 new series on their platforms by the end of the year, including a few celebrity-led shows that focus on everything from blowing out walls for major renos to room designs for Gen Z’ers.

“Just when fans think they’ve seen it all, we’re here to surprise them,” Jane Latman, president, HGTV & Streaming Home Content, Discovery, Inc. said of the exciting new additions, which will begin rolling out as early as this month and continue through the remainder of the year. The new additions including entertaining renovation and real estate series like The Nate & Jeremiah Home Project, starring Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent, as well as the new competition series Flipping Showdown. The lineup also includes new reboots and spinoffs, like the epic makeover of fan-favorite series Curb Appeal. HGTV will also premiere more than 100 fresh episodes of fan-favorite series before Jan. 3. Latman said, “We’ve always known that there are infinite ways to tell the story of home and in the next few months we will premiere more than a dozen new shows that push the boundaries of the home genre, while delivering on heart, humor and inspiration.”

The streaming service is available at $4.99 per month with commercials and $6.99 per month for an ad-free plan. However, discovery+ does offer a free seven-day trial at sign-up, meaning that you can give the streaming service a test run before committing. The platform is available to watch on Apple, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Roku, and Samsung devices.
