HGTV Rocks the Block, ‘Idol’ Rocks the Hall of Fame, Finales of ‘Reggie’ and ‘Wild Cards’
HGTV stars team with celebrities in a new season of the home-renovation competition Rock the Block. The Rock & Rock Hall of Fame’s 2026 inductees are announced during American Idol, when the Top 11 perform from Hall of Famers’ song lists. NBC‘s The Fall & Rise of Reggie Dinkins ends its first season with back-to-back episodes, and The CW‘s Wild Cards wraps its third.

Rock the Block
The channel’s highest-rated competition series returns for a seventh season, pairing HGTV stars with celebrities to tackle lookalike builds in a Las Vegas cul-de-sac. They each have seven weeks and a $275,000 budget to work their magic, with the winning team honored by having a street named after them. The teams include Renovation Resort Showdown‘s Scott McGillivray with reality-TV star Brooke Hogan, Battle on the Beach‘s Taniya Nayak with singer/actor Drew Lachey, Good Bones‘ Mina Starsiak Hawk with Super Bowl champ Vernon Davis, Why the Heck Did I Buy This House host and Survivor winner Kim Spradlin-Wolfe with Survivor and Southern Charm alum Chelsea Meissner. In the two-hour opener, the teams tackle the main bedroom, bathroom and walk-in closet, with Lisa Vanderpump and business partner/designer Nick Alain judging the result.

The Fall & Rise of Reggie Dinkins
Speaking of halls of fame, disgraced NFL star Reggie Dinkins (Tracy Morgan) is a cockeyed optimist when it comes to his chances of being considered for pro football’s illustrious Hall of Fame. In the two-part Season 1 finale airing back-to-back, Reggie musters his troops, including filmmaker Arthur Tobin (Daniel Radcliffe), to get him back on the ballot. But it won’t be easy, not with his nemesis, the more successful gridiron alum Jerry Basmati (Craig Robinson), plotting against him.

Wild Cards
The third season of the light mystery-comedy brings the conflict between Max’s (Vanessa Morgan) family and the vindictive crime boss Varga to a head when Max is kidnapped, forcing her partner/detective Ellis (Giacomo Gianniotti) to work with her con-artist relatives. The goal: to break Varga’s brother Artie out of a federal prison, with Ellis posing as an air marshal and Max’s dad George (Jason Priestley) his prisoner. What could go wrong?
