‘Bargain Block’ Is Returning to HGTV — But Not in the Way You Think
A brand new group of viewers will soon be able to watch Bargain Block following its HGTV cancellation.
On Tuesday, September 23, HGTV UK announced via its social media channels that the home renovation series will soon air past episodes across the pond. “The hunt for hidden gems and jaw-dropping transformations is back — don’t miss the premiere of Bargain Block in just 2 weeks! 💎😱,” the network captioned a trailer for the show’s upcoming U.K. release.
Fans of the series were excited to see the show get new life after it wrapped up its four-season run on HGTV earlier this month. “I love these guys. They buy a property that I swear the only thing they should do is tear it down and start from scratch,” one user commented on HGTV UK’s Facebook page. “Then Evan [Thomas] and Keith [Bynum] work their magic…and yes, I said MAGIC, no other way you can describe it, next thing you know, here come Shea [Hicks-Whitfield] and before you know it a family has a new beautiful, unique, one of a kind home and a Detroit neighborhood has new life. HGTV what were you thinking letting this talented, caring, funny crew go.”
Another person wrote, “Such a wonderful show. These guys (and their realtor Shea) have changed so many lives in Detroit, house by house. Bringing Detroit back, neighborhoods block by block. Working on houses no one else would touch. Bringing them back to life. This show should be picked up by another network.”

Hicks-Whitfield also shared the U.K. premiere announcement clip via her Instagram Story on Thursday, September 25, writing, “Get ready, UK!”
According to HGTV UK’s website, a few of Bargain Block‘s Season 4 episodes will premiere on the network starting on October 7, including “The London House,” “The Crumbling Cottage,” “Once Upon A Time In Detroit,” “Betting on Detroit,” “Casa Frida,” and “Tropical And Trendy.”
Back in June, Bynum announced that Bargain Block was canceled by HGTV after previously being greenlit for a fifth season. “We do have a few more episodes coming out in August, actually starting on Evan’s birthday,” he explained to his Instagram followers. “But they are the remainder of Season 4 ’cause they did not renew the show for Season 5.”
Bargain Block was the first in a slew of HGTV home renovation show cancellations this year, including Married to Real Estate, Izzy Does It, Farmhouse Fixer, Battle on the Beach, Christina on the Coast, and The Flipping El Moussas. Bargain Block began airing its final episodes on August 20 and officially concluded on September 10.
Bynum thanked the show’s cast and crew, as well as the city of Detroit, Michigan, in a heartfelt Instagram tribute the day of the series finale. “Evan, Shea and I experienced something that most people will only ever get to dream of and it was magical,” he wrote alongside behind-the-scenes show pics from over the years. “I am grateful for every fan, viewer and critic because every bit of it helped us grow. We love you all so very much and hope you loved it as much as we did. We’ll see yall around!”

Better figure out the wrongs you have brought by canceling these favorite shows of ours. No, I will not watch the garbage you have tried to shove down our throats with the Zillow etc.

I am hurt. I love Bargain Block, I’ve been watching them since day one and I would even watch the re-runs. I really miss them. What the heck is HGTV doing. They’ve cancelled a lot of the good shows . How can we get them back?

Loved this show, my favorite HGTV renovation show. I never got bored with Shea, Evan and Keith, they kept it fresh. The three of them just clicked and made the audience feel as if we were there with them. I sympathize with Shea walking into an old home full of garbage I would cringe watching her carefully step over one mess after another. Big mistake not picking up Bargain Block for season 5.

I think HGTV is going down hill. Their shows were great but lately I have not seen too much I like. Canada is taking over the shows that I loved to watch. I loved the shows that made you think about redoing your own place but also watching families getting help that need it.

What do we have to do to get these guys back. Their show was real and awesome. Not like some of the formula crap.

HGTV is making a mistake taking Bargain Block off/s5!!! As well as Farmhouse for Fixer and Christina on the Coast. As a viewer for a VERY LONG time- they are going to far omitting these shows from the lineup

First of all, we love Keith, Evan and Shea. What a fun group! But what I really like about this show is every house and theme is so different. It’s not a cookie cutter farmhouse look where they looking basically the same theme. I’m amazed at how cheap the houses in Detroit are tho. But I love to see the miracles they produce. Bring them back!

I think they should create their own Streaming channel and continue to renovate the abandoned homes in Detroit, New Orleans or anywhere they find.the need.

I have repeatedly waited and looked for Bargain Block. It was my favorite show and devastated that the network canceled them. I'm so sick of seeing David Bomstadt as a filler several days of the week. These 2 guys are so funny on Bargain Block, so engaging and so real. David Bomstadt should have his show but my goodness. It seems like every time I tune in there David is. Boring 😴.

There are several shows that I really found so inspiring. Bargain Block, farm house fixer. So sad there gone I looked forward to watching them. When there's nothing but negative politics, and opinions. It wss a wonderful break. I don't understand. Why? Now I'm back to all the negativity. Done no TV. Can't handle all the blame games. Those shows meant so much to me. But, apparently sadly not to HGTV.

I can't believe that they're taking bargain block off. It helped me get through a lot of things watching these two men do remarkable things with homes that no one else would ever think of doing. They need to bring back more of them and more shows like this put in neighborhoods back together is a blessing. I really do love and appreciate the whole show.

Why would you guys cancel their show?
I love their show. It was the best shows. They did amazing work and they were so funny. Shea and her husband and her handsome little boy fit in perfectly with the show. Please bring them back for good.

I am so shocked that this was cancelled after being renewed for season 5. This is so much more enjoyable to watch than love it or list it especially when you know that show is all a lie. Please bring Bargain Block back

I hate this show has been cancelled. I thought I would get to follow them to New Orleans to watch them work their magic. HGTV, to keep me watching you gotta work hard on a replacement!

Id rather watch Bargain Block than David Bromstead my lottery dream ??? Bargain Block , they have a magic and really bring to the table hopes and dreams. I use to like David Bromstead, but....he has gone way off the chart with the tatoos and dress code. This really surprises me with HGTV.
Im not fond of married to real estate...IF HGTV stuck with the good shows their ratings would be good.
To be fair, David has just gone off the deep end...and then this next show ? As my friend says,
HGTV = HIGHLY GAY TV...
Anyway just my thoughts.
We all love in our corner , Baragin Block...these guys saving a town and homes.
Wake Up HGTV....wake up
