HGTV renews a hit Detroit-based home renovation series in New Orleans

A two-for-one bargain is coming to HGTV, with 10 new episodes of the hit Detroit-based home renovation series, Bargain Block, and greenlighted a five-episode spin-off series set in the Big Easy, Bargain Block New Orleans in 2024.

Both series will star renovation experts and partners Keith Bynum and Evan Thomas as they restore neighborhoods in two iconic American cities one house at a time. In Bargain Block New Orleans, Keith and Evan, will buy multiple rundown and abandoned houses and take them down to the studs to create affordable, stylish and fully furnished homes that are ideal for first-time homebuyers. 

The series are slated to premiere in Fall 2024. The houses will present unique restoration challenges for the couple, including repairing hurricane-damaged properties, bee infestations and strict construction codes that are vastly different from Detroit.

As a few local friends help the duo navigate the city’s wild ways, sound advice and support will also be available from their friend—lifetime Detroit resident and real estate expert Shea Hicks-Whitfield, the duo create affordable, stylish and fully furnished homes that are ideal for first-time homebuyers.

“Millions of home renovation enthusiasts have tuned in to see Keith, Evan and Shea’s passion for improving Detroit communities in Bargain Block for three seasons, making it a strong ratings driver for the network,” said Loren Ruch, Head of Content, HGTV. “We know their legions of fans will want to follow them to New Orleans and watch them transform and preserve this one-of-a-kind city.”
