HGTV has ordered new series including Cristy Lee’s Steal This House, Rehab Addict Lake House Rescue from Nicole Curtis, Flip to A Million and First Home Fix, while Food Network has commissioned BBQ USA, It’s CompliPlated and Guy’s Ultimate Game Night from Guy Fieri.
The new slates mean that the two networks will have more than 70 new series across their 2022 schedules with HGTV producing more than 570 hours of new original programming in 2022 including 3 new series and specials, and 27 returning programs and Food Network with more than 660 hours of new programming for the year, including 40 new series and specials, and 30 returners. All shows will launch on Discovery+.
Jane Latman, who runs both networks as President, Home & Food Content and Streaming, Warner Bros. Discovery, said, “HGTV and Food Network are two of the biggest, most influential brands in television with programming that more than 25 million viewers seek out and watch live weekly. We are the established leaders in the home and food genres, and our top priority remains developing, producing and promoting new series that fill our bench with even more talented experts with star power. You also will see us generating fresh ideas that keep our existing fan-favorite series top of mind with this passionate audience.”
