A&E'S NEW ORIGINAL SERIES "SQUATTERS" FOLLOWS FLASH SHELTON AND HIS TEAM OF SPECIALISTS AS THEY TAKE ON HIGH-STAKES MISSIONS TO HELP VICTIMS RECLAIM THEIR HOMES
SERIES PREMIERES TUESDAY, MAY 12TH AT 10PM
New York, NY - April 15, 2026 - A&E's new docuseries "Squatters" follows Flash Shelton, and his team as they tackle high-stakes, fast-moving, and often volatile situations to help homeowners reclaim their property. In the tradition of the network's multiple Emmy-winning series, "Intervention", this new series lifts the veil on a critical social issue facing America today. "Squatters" sheds light on the complex legal challenges surrounding property rights and showcases Shelton's unconventional strategies to resolve these conflicts. "Squatters" premieres with back-to-back episodes starting Tuesday, May 12th at 10pm and 10:30pm ET/PT.
Shelton's journey began with a personal crisis in 2019, when squatters took over his mother's vacant home in Northern California. Frustrated by a slow and complicated eviction process, he immersed himself in tenant and property laws, and after successfully reclaiming the property, he turned his experience into a broader mission - going on to help property owners nationwide in more than 100 cases through hands-on interventions.
Each episode follows urgent and emotional cases, from homeowners on the brink of losing everything - including a woman dealing with squatters living in her basement - to a couple whose brand-new home is occupied before they even have a chance to move in. Every case is a precise and thoughtful mission to bring homes back to their rightful owners
