HGTV’s Keith Bynum Hopeful for 2026 After ‘Bulls***’ 2025 & ‘Bargain Block’ Cancellation

Keith Bynum is ready to start a new chapter in 2026 following HGTV’s cancellation of Bargain Block.

Bargain Block was one of several home renovation shows canceled by HGTV in 2025, including Married to Real Estate, Izzy Does It, Farmhouse Fixer, Battle on the Beach, Christina on the Coast, and The Flipping El Moussas. Bynum referenced the show’s cancellation while reflecting on 2025 in a Wednesday, December 31, Instagram post.

“I’m very happy to say goodbye to 2025,” he wrote alongside photos from the past year. “The first day of this year started off horrifically and honestly it didn’t get much better. Not every year is a great one, but I’m grateful for my friends and that our company survived the onslaught of bulls*** it faced.”

He concluded, “I can feel a different energy already for 2026 and I love it. Love you all!! Happy new year!”

Bynum’s Bargain Block costar Shea Hicks-Whitfield hopped in the post’s comments, writing, “Here’s to Twenty-Twenty-SIX… here for the joy, the glow, and the BLISS!🥂🎉✨️🥰.” He replied to her comment, stating, “Yess!!! More love kindness and joy!!!”

Fans also flooded the post’s comments with their love for Bynum and Bargain Block. “Yes, on with the New Year! I love you guys, miss your show. Better thongs are coming for us, right! Authenticity is rewarded 🥰,” one person wrote. Another added, “Hoping that 2026 is your best year yet! Happy New Year! 🥂🎉.”
