Boldface Names and Emerging Stars Heat Up HGTV Summer/Fall 2018 Programming Slate

New York - While showing the world how to flip a home for profit, break through walls to reinvent spaces or create a fantasy lifestyle on a beach or under a big sky, HGTV turns every day stories of finding, buying, selling and renovating homes into can't-miss television that attracts more than 41.3 million primetime viewers each month. Its most popular experts have transcended home and landscaping to become pop culture phenoms - amassing millions of social media followers. With nine new series slated to premiere in the next six months, HGTV continues to cultivate a cadre of stars who are destined to join such super fan favorites as Jonathan and Drew Scott of the Emmy(R)-nominated series Property Brothers, Tarek and Christina El Moussa of Flip or Flop, Hilary Farr and David Visentin of Love It or List It and Chip and Joanna Gaines from the Emmy(R)-nominated series Fixer Upper.

HGTV's biggest stars - whose personal activities and major life events are regularly featured on the covers and in the pages of national entertainment magazines - often get social media "shout outs" from Hollywood celebrities, inspire spoofs and fuel late night monologues. Spouses Ben and Erin Napier of Home Town, mother-daughter duo Karen E Laine and Mina Starsiak of Good Bones, exes DeRon Jenkins and Page Turner of Flip or Flop Nashville and siblings Steve and Leanne Ford of Restored by the Fords may be among the newest in HGTV's talent pool, but they already have proven their ability to attract new viewers and generate buzz among enthusiastic fans.

Even with so many existing boldface names and hit shows, HGTV's summer/fall 2018 programming pipeline is hotter than the Television Critics Association tour at the Beverly Hilton in July:
