HGTV Home Town Takeover

HGTV Home Town Takeover

Home Town Takeover is an HGTV show featuring home renovations and restorations in small-town America. 

Because of the likable hosts and great design, Home Town and its spin-offs have continued to pull super high ratings among viewers.

And if you’re one of those viewers, you may be wondering if there’s another season of Home Town Takeover coming up. Here’s everything you need to know.

What is HGTV Home Town Takeover?

Home Town Takeover is an HGTV show where married couple Ben and Erin Napier renovate several homes within the same town – essentially giving a small town a kind of makeover.

In the Home Town Takeover series, Ben and Erin venture out of their own hometown in Laurel, Mississippi, and renovate homes in Wetumpka, Alabama.

Will Home Town Takeover Be on HGTV?

Yes, the first episode of Hometown Takeover aired on May 2, 2021.

In 2022, HGTV will be debuting another Home Town spinoff called HomeTown Kickstart. In this show, Ben and Erin will visit six small towns across the United States to help kickstart renovations and revitalize the city.

Who Are The Hosts for Home Town Takeover?

BenErin

Erin and Ben Napier are the hosts of Home Town Takeover. Ben and Erin are married and reside in Laurel, Mississippi.

Erin has a fine arts degree and is a designer. Ben has a degree in history, is a woodworker, and founder of Scotsman Co.

Aside from starring in Home Town, Home Town Takeover, and the Home Town Kickstart, the couple owns the Laurel Mercantile Co.

Does Ben Actually Do the Work on Home Town?

While Ben is a woodworker who often makes custom furniture, he is not a contractor. According to Country Living , Ben spends his time woodworking – not managing subcontractors. So no, Ben does not do the bulk of the work shown on Home Town.

Are Ben and Erin Moving to Alabama?

While Ben and Erin spent time in Wetumpka, Alabama, it does not appear the couple will be moving there. Instead, Ben and Erin reside in Laurel, Mississippi. 

They will, however, be visiting six small towns across the United States for their upcoming series, Home Town Kickstart.

How Many Seasons of Home Town Takeover?

As of today, there have been five seasons of the original Home Town and one season of Home Town Takeover. Right now, it doesn’t look like Home Town Takeover will be back.

However, Home Town season six should debut in 2022. In addition, the couple will be starring in a new spin-off called Home Town Kickstart. In this show, Ben and Erin will visit six small towns across the country.

Is Home Town Staged?

While Ben and Erin don’t act as contractors for the renovations on the show, they’re still the brains behind the design. Ben does, however, make custom furniture for many of the renovations. 

Perhaps the biggest “fake” thing about the show is that homeowners don’t get to keep items used for staging. They do, however, get to keep custom furniture created for them.

Conclusion

While it doesn’t look like Home Town Takeover is coming back for a second season, the original series Home Town will be back for its sixth season sometime in 2022.

In addition, the couple will be starring in Home Town Kickstart, where they’ll visit six small towns across the country to kick off revitalization efforts.
