TORONTO \u2014 Rogers is betting big on Bryan and Sarah Baeumler, with the home renovation stars headlining the media giant\u2019s 2026-27 original specialty TV lineup.<\/p>\n
The Baeumlers will lead three new unscripted HGTV series under their exclusive production deal with Rogers, following the broadcaster\u2019s takeover of HGTV in Canada and its swift move to bring some of the network\u2019s most recognizable faces over from Corus Entertainment.<\/p>\n
The company announced Tuesday that the TV power couple will host \u201cHome Town Takeover Canada,\u201d as well as produce and star in \u201cBaeumler Ranch\u201d and \u201cSarah Baeumler By Design.\u201d Broadcast details are still to come.<\/p>\n
In 2024, Rogers inked a multi-year deal with Warner Bros. Discovery that saw it scoop the rights to HGTV from Corus, along with several other key brands, including Food Network, Cooking Channel and OWN.<\/p>\n
Among other new Canadian series on the broadcaster\u2019s slate is Food Network\u2019s \u201cRestaurant Impossible: Last Call,\u201d which follows chef Aar\u00f3n S\u00e1nchez and Canadian restaurateur Jen Agg as they rescue struggling restaurants across North America. It premieres July 23.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, \u201cDeadliest Catch: Northern Edge\u201d \u2014 a Canadian original for Discovery \u2014 is set for January 2027. The reality series following fishermen is currently in production in Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and the North Atlantic.<\/p>\n
The Baeumlers gained popularity leading several HGTV Canada series under the Corus banner, including \u201cHouse of Bryan\u201d and \u201cIsland of Bryan.\u201d<\/p>\n
After losing HGTV, Corus rebranded its home-focused channel as Home Network, touting the Baeumlers as two of its main stars, and rolling out a new show featuring the duo called \u201cBuilding Baeumler,\u201d which launched last year.<\/p>\n
During Rogers’ Upfronts presentation to advertisers on Tuesday, the couple said that they\u2019re “coming home to HGTV.”<\/p>\n
“(It’s) a brand that has earned extraordinary trust and loyalty with audiences over many years,” added Sarah Baeumler.<\/p>\n
The couple detailed their new shows, including \u201cBaeumler Ranch,” in which they “set out to create a world-class Canadian experience at a sprawling Rocky Mountain ranch.”<\/p>\n
\u201cSarah Baeumler By Design,” meanwhile, will follow the reno star as she balances “family, marriage and business,” all while creating “transformative spaces” across Canada, she said.<\/p>\n
Rogers said during the presentation that its specialty lineup reaches 4.8 million Canadians weekly.<\/p>\n
Its slate will also lean heavily on a slew of new and returning U.S. acquisitions.<\/p>\n
Bravo will bring back staples including \u201cThe Real Housewives of New York City,\u201d \u201cThe Real Housewives of Salt Lake City,\u201d \u201cBelow Deck\u201d and \u201cSouthern Charm,\u201d alongside new titles \u201cVanderpump Rules: Lisa Las Vegas\u201d and \u201cSecrets, Lies, Texas Wives.\u201d<\/p>\n
HGTV continues with new seasons of \u201cHouse Hunters,\u201d \u201cSin City Rehab,\u201d and \u201cScariest House in America,\u201d while Food Network dishes out new servings of \u201cHalloween Baking Championship,\u201d \u201cHoliday Baking Championship\u201d and \u201cBeat Bobby Flay: Holiday Throwdown.\u201d<\/p>\n
Discovery will launch new series including \u201cAlaska Frontier Rookies,\u201d \u201cRescue 911\u201d and \u201cHow It Works.\u201d The network\u2019s annual Shark Week also returns July 26 for its 38th year.<\/p>\n
