‘The Flip Off’ Season 2: What We Know About the HGTV Show’s Return

Season 1 of The Flip Off quickly became a fan-favorite series after its Season 1 premiere last year. Mixing a regular HGTV series with a reality TV show, The Flip Off follows the personal lives of  Christina Haack, Tarek El Moussa, and Heather Rae El Moussa, as well as sees them compete to score the biggest buck for their respective home transformations.

Although filming of Season 1 was plagued by a bit of drama due to Haack’s divorce from Josh Hall, who was originally supposed to be her partner, everything eventually came together. The cast, however, has hinted that Haack may have a new partner for the show’s second outing.

Will there be Season 2 of The Flip Off?

After months of speculation, HGTV officially confirmed on August 21 that The Flip Off will be returning for Season 2. In a press release for the announcement the network shared that Season 1 of the competition show was its highest-rated freshman series since 2022.

Haack watched the premiere with Tarek and Heather in January 2025. During the watch party, Haack teamed up with Heather to film an Instagram Live, which prompted Tarek to start his own live stream. This led Heather to suggest that she and Haack should join forces and take on Tarek if the show returned for a second season. The majority of viewers agreed that the ladies would win if they went up against Tarek.

Heather also suggested another possible idea for a spinoff series, should Tarek not be down for the team switch. “The Flip Off girls’ edition — we can teach girls how to flip houses,” she said.

When will The Flip Off Season 2 premiere?

An exact premiere date was not revealed, but the show is confirmed to be returning in 2026. For reference, Season 1 started filming in June 2024 and wrapped in the fall, then premiered on January 29, 2025.

Haack confirmed Season 2 had began filming in September 2025 by sharing an Instagram video of herself, Tarek, Heather, and her boyfriend, Christopher Larocca, toasting to the show’s start.

What is the premise of The Flip Off?

The Flip Off is a house-flipping competition between Haack and the El Moussas (Haack started the season with Hall as her teammate, but he left the competition after their July 2024 split). Each team had to buy, flip, and sell a home, with the winner decided by who had the better return on investment (ROI) in the end.

The show is split into a room-by-room competition, with the teams renovating a different part of the house every episode. The winner of each individual room renovation is decided by a guest judge, with each team switching off choosing the person who would make the decision. Whoever the judge deemed the loser had to give the other team $2,000 towards their next renovated room.

Who is in The Flip Off Season 2 cast?

Haack, Tarek and Heather are all confirmed to be returning for Season 2. HGTV confirmed that Season 2 would be the same format as Season 1, with Tarek and Heather taking on Haack in the competition.

“Having learned her lessons from last season, Christina will throw out the rule book and do everything she can to beat Tarek and Heather Rae at the flipping game,” the release revealed. “But they won’t give up their crown easily in an all-out battle to see who can win round two of The Flip Off.”

After Hall’s exit in Season 1, Haack was assisted by her friend Kylie Wing, a designer, and contractor Michael Lange, but neither of them ever officially became her teammate. She’ll likely get some help from these sources or other friends when the show returns.

Will Christina Haack have a new partner for The Flip Off Season 2?

While Haack and Heather have teased that they will compete together against Tarek, it’s rumored that Haack’s boyfriend will join the show as her Season 2 partner. Tarek fueled the speculation via Instagram in November 2025 by sharing a video of himself and Heather filming with Haack and Larocca. Tarek and Heather were both dressed in all-black for the shooting day, while Haack and Larocca each wore a white top with black pants.

The following month, Heather seemingly confirmed that Larocca would be joining the show with a behind-the-scenes selfie. “Sneak preview of season 2 👀🛠️…” she captioned a photo of herself, Tarek, Haack and Larocca.
