HGTV SIGNS NEW MULTI-YEAR TALENT DEAL WITH BEN AND ERIN NAPIER

New York [January 27, 2024] HGTV has inked a new exclusive talent deal with home renovation experts Ben and Erin Napier, stars of Home Town. The series, which follows the couple as they work to revitalize outdated homes and historical locations in their small town of Laurel, Mississippi, while navigating their busy family life, will be extended for 32 more episodes shooting through 2027.

"Our collaboration with Ben and Erin has led to Home Town's popularity with our key audiences and strong ratings performance every season," said Loren Ruch, Head of Content, HGTV. "This new deal will ensure fans get more of what they love about the series, which is the Napiers' charming relationship dynamic and passion for designing beautiful family homes in their small town."

"The HGTV family is where we belong. Shows are often impermanent but Home Town endures, we think, because it lives on a network that teaches and gives comfort to people. It's more than pretty houses. That's something we are proud to be part of," added Ben and Erin.
