What To Know

  • Jonathan Knight will host a 13-episode revival of HGTV’s Crashers franchise.
  • The series will follow Knight as he surprises homeowners with a fast and free renovation of the space of their choosing.
  • The show marks Knight’s first HGTV project since the cancellation of Farmhouse Fixer last year.

Jonathan Knight is heading back to HGTV for an exciting new series.

The network announced on Wednesday, May 6, that Knight will host a revival of HGTV’s Crashers franchise. The series of shows — which included Room Crashers, Kitchen Crashers, Yard Crashers, and Bath Crashers — saw unsuspecting homeowners get a free, 72-hour renovation of a space of their choosing.

Knight’s 13-episode revival, titled Crashers, will follow a similar format. The show will follow the New Kids on the Block singer “as he ambushes folks anywhere from furniture boutiques to the hardware store or even the local paint shop to offer them a fast-paced reno with a catch,” per its official description.

“Before the work begins, the homeowners must agree to three rules: the renovation starts immediately; they have no say in the design; and they must vacate their home for the full three days,” the synopsis continues. “Throughout the season Jon will complete jaw dropping whirlwind transformations, from beautiful backyards to dazzling kitchens, with the help of his team of skilled designers.”

In a statement about the series, Knight said, “Everyone has that one space that really needs work. But they have no time, no money and no idea where to start — and that’s where I come in. I love a challenge and especially one that’s going to change someone’s life in 72 hours.”

During the Monday, June 8, series premiere, Knight will surprise a California homeowner in a hardware store with a free kitchen upgrade for his family of five and ex-wife. “With the help of his team, Jon will swiftly demo the space down to the studs and dream up a new layout to better serve the large family’s needs,” reads the episode’s description. “In just three days, he’ll deliver a completely renovated kitchen with optimized storage, brand-new appliances, functional banquette seating and a custom beverage station.”

Crashers will mark Knight’s first HGTV project since Farmhouse Fixer was canceled after three seasons last year. The series was one of several home renovation shows axed by the network in 2025, including Bargain Block, Married to Real Estate, Izzy Does It, Battle on the Beach, Christina on the Coast, and The Flipping El Moussas.

Knight previously revealed that he was working on a new HGTV show during a February episode of the Vegas Revealed podcast. In March, a fan shared behind-the-scenes footage of Knight filming the series via Instagram.

“So much fun being extras for Jonathan’s new HGTV show,” they captioned the post, which featured a selfie the fan took with Knight. “He is seriously the nicest guy, fun to see how behind the scenes work!”

The post also featured footage of Knight seemingly surprising a lucky customer in a home decor store with a surprise renovation. “Can I give you a kitchen?” he can be heard asking the customer, who replies, “Yes, absolutely!”

He added, “See, most people, they’re just like, ‘Who are you? Why are you following me around this store with cameras?'” The customer goes on to state that they “know” who Knight is, to which he responds, “That’s a good start. So, there’s trust here. There’s already trust here.”

    Just making him look younger probably makes a lot of sense to the younger crowd but he looked great on Farmhouse Fixer.

    What’s left is to wish. I’M A US ARMY AND US NAVY DISABLED VETERAN. I’M 64 NOW AND MY GAME TO FIX PLACES IN MY HOME HAS UP AND GONE. I WOULD LOVE TO UPDATE MY KITCHEN. ITS SMALL, BUT WHO CAN AFFORD TO ANYWAY. WITH MORTGAGE PAYMENTS AND THE COST OF LIVING HAS PUT THE BRAKES ON SO MUCH. I fought so hard for our Country, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 🇺🇸. WHATS GOING ON WITH OUR COUNTRY IS SO PETTY AND SHAMEFUL. THIS CANNOT BE WHAT I PUT MY LIFE ON THE LINE FOR, IT CANT BE. I LOVE THIS LAND AND FREEDOMS IT USE TO PROVIDE TO ALL. ITS SO HARD TO BEAR AT TIMES, MORE SO LATELY. I STILL CANT AFFORD TO TAKE MY FAMILY ON VACATION, ITS BEEN EIGHT YEARS SINCE. AND THE MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE ARE MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER AND SOMETIMES I HAVE TO HIDE MY SHAME OF NOT BEING ABLE TO LOOK THEM IN THE EYES, ONLY THEIR SMILES AND LOVE FOR ME. MY WIFE IN MARCH THIS YEAR, MY WIFE HAD BRAIN SURGERY AND STILL IN THERAPY FOR COGNITIVE. I HOPE TO MAKE HER HAPPY WITH A NEW KITCHEN OR ANYTHING WOULD BE NICE. THANKYOU. KEEP CRASHING , TO DASHING !!!! Tommyboy

    I would love for crashers to come to columbus ohio, specifically my house which needs a complete overhaul. I would even let him choose what room he thinks needs the most work but since it all does he probably wouldn't know where to start. We are in our 70's and can't keep up with everything that needs to be done, but it would just be nice to see some of these TV shows to help people that really need it!!!

    It’s my son‘s condo. He’s unable to refurbish it and help me. I’m 81 years old and Social Security I can’t afford to do it either. We’re just hoping and praying the appliances still break down.

    Please help us with a new kitchen. I won’t question your design. I’ve seen your work. I trust you 100%.

    I think it is commendable that people are surprised with renovating a room or even a yard. It's not smart for me to use a riding mower in my back yard as the land is uneven and at a slight slope. I use a push mower which takes so much longer to get the job done. I hate to sweat!

    My husband and I are 62 and not getting any younger. We could use a whole house remodel, but would settle for the kitchen being done. Please help make cooking fun again!!
