It’s being reported that HGTV has canceled two additional home transformation shows on its network, while another show is set to return for another season. HGTV recently canceled several entertaining shows, including Bargain Block, despite initially renewing it for a fifth season.
Another popular HGTV show, Married to Real Estate, hosted by Egypt Sherrod and Mike Jackson, has been canceled after four seasons. Farmhouse Fixer, featuring Jonathan Knight, was also canceled after its three-season run. Izzy Does It hasn’t been renewed for another season, but Israel “Izzy” Battres is leaving the experience with gratitude. Amid the shocking news, the Property Brothers stars have faced backlash.
After canceling four of its popular shows, the network has now decided to cancel two additional shows that featured famous Hollywood names.
According to Us Weekly, HGTV canceled both The Flipping El Moussas and Christina on the Coast, while The Flip Off is gearing up for a comeback. The source reported that The Flipping El Moussas, which starred Tarek El Moussa and his current wife, Heather Rae Young, is “not coming back” to the network.
Similarly, Christina on the Coast, featuring Christina Haack, has “not been renewed” for another season. However, the trio is returning to The Flip Off, which is supposed to be “back for a second season, but there is no filming date or air date yet.”
What HGTV Canceling Christina & Tarek’s Shows Means
Christina, Tarek & Heather Likely Struggled To Pull Off Solo Shows
Christina and Tarek started their reality TV careers on HGTV with Flip or Flop. The show ran for a successful 10 seasons but was eventually canceled. Christina went on to star in her own spin-off, Christina on the Coast, which debuted in 2019 and became a mainstay on the network for six seasons.
Tarek and his wife, Heather, starred on their own show, The Flipping El Moussas, which premiered in 2023. The couple navigated the ups and downs of flipping houses in Southern California while also sharing their personal lives along the way.
However, it now appears that the network’s solo shows featuring Christina, Tarek, and Heather are no longer as influential as they once were. It seems that they may be losing popularity among long-time viewers, which is why HGTV chose to cancel these shows while retaining The Flip Off.
This suggests that the network still wants the former couple to compete against each other, but they lack sufficient influence to continue their own spin-offs.
Our Take On Christina & Tarek’s Shows Being Canceled
Veteran HGTV Stars Aren’t Generating High Ratings
The network’s decision to cancel Flipping El Moussas and Christina on the Coast suggests that they are likely seeking fresh talent and new home renovation formats to attract viewers. It appears that big names like Tarek and Christina are no longer drawing in high ratings or appearing as fresh to the audience.
By removing two seasoned stars, the network may be searching for new faces or younger couples who can develop a modern format for flipping houses. HGTV is surely focused on delivering what viewers are looking for in 2025.
