HGTV has come for some of your favorite renovation shows. The Warner Bros. Discovery brand has undergone a cancellation spree in recent weeks, axing a handful of beloved Home & Garden Television (HGTV) home improvement and real estate shows, including the Daytime Emmy-nominated show "Married to Real Estate." Just last month, Warner Bros. Discoveryannouncedit would be splitting into two publicly traded companies, Streaming & Studios and Global Networks. It's not immediately clear which company will air and continue to produce original content for HGTV. "By operating as two distinct and optimized companies in the future, we are empowering these iconic brands with the sharper focus and strategic flexibility they need to compete most effectively in today's evolving media landscape," David Zaslav, President and CEO of Streaming & Studios, said in a statement. HGTV has yet to address the recent cancellations publicly and representatives did not immediately respond to USA TODAY's request for comment on the matter. Here's what we know so far about HGTV cancellations this summer. Christina Haack, host of HGTV show "Christina on the Coast," spoke out in aJuly 19 social media postreferencing reports byPeopleandUs Weeklythat the show had been canceled. "Summer so far. Basically just eating and laughing," Haack wrote in the caption for her photo dump."Canceled looks good on me…. Only kidding only kidding." According to HGTV, the series followed real estate and flipping expert Christina [Haack] as she helped clients transform their outdated properties into high-end homes in Southern California. Haack's show ran for six seasons, starting in May 2019, on HGTV. After a four-season run, hosts of the Daytime Emmy-nominated show "Married to Real Estate" announced in late June that HGTV had decided not to "move forward" with the show. "While the chain of events leading up to this is disheartening, we are deeply grateful," Egypt Sherrod and Mike Jacksonshared in a joint statement via social media."Grateful for four incredible seasons. Grateful for our amazing crew and supportive fans. Grateful that our businesses continue to thrive. And most of all— grateful that we are still very much married to real estate (and to each other)." Egypt Sherrod, a real estate broker and designer, and her husband Mike Jackson helped clients in Atlanta find homes in their dream neighborhoods. "By using their unparalleled real estate expertise, they'll make smart purchases and even smarter renovations while managing their busy family,"HGTV wrote of the show. The show made its debut on HGTV in January 2022 and aired a total of 44 episodes. Alison Victoria, host of renovation competition show "Battle on the Beach," recently revealed that the show would not be returning for a fifth season on HGTV. Nayak, who co-hosted the show with Ty Pennington and Taniya Nayak, broke the news onher podcast "Pap Smear." Nayak loved working on the show, telling comedian Retta that it was "so fun and funny" but that the editing did not reflect that. "And then all of a sudden, I watch the episode... I'm like, 'well, where'd all that go?' I get it, right, it's a lot of content to try to put into 42 minutes. But where is it? Like, where's the great editing?" Victoria said. "You'll lose a show that way. I truly believe that. And 'Battle on the Beach' did not get picked back up, which is sad, cause it was like adult spring break." Pennington and Nayak have yet to publicly address the cancellation. According to HGTV, "Battle on the Beach" followed three teams of house flippers as they renovate identical beachfront properties for a chance to win $50,000. Ty Pennington, Alison Victoria and Taniya Nayak served as mentors, pitching in to help teams as needed.

"A lot of you have been asking about the future of Farmhouse Fixer. I am sad to say HGTV has decided not to move forward with another season," Knight wrote in a June 25 post. "While I'm still processing the reasons that led to their decision, Kristina and I are so grateful for all your support over the past 3 seasons." The New Kids on the Block singer, who hosted the show with interior designer Kristina Crestin, went on to say that television "has been so incredibly fun for us." "We are so proud of what we created together and look forward to sharing what's next for us."

"Farmhouse Fixer" made its HGTV debut in March 2021, airing22 episodes. Keith Bynum and Evan Thomas, co-hosts of"Bargain Block,"confirmedin June that viewers would not be seeing them on HGTV "for much longer." "Our entire business and lives have been put through the ringer at the hands of a giant corporation, yet we persist lol. Though you may not be seeing us for much longer on HGTV, we're excited that we've built such an amazing base of followers and we're very excited about the future," the couple said in a joint statement. "Everyone always told us TV is a fickle world and they are very right. Tv is full of a lot of great people but it's also full of some of the worst people I've ever encountered," the statement continued. Bynum said he and Thomas have "always tried hard to stick to what we know and what we're good at which is being ourselves." "We love you all and we're very excited to announce what's next soon!" the couple said. Real estate adviser Shea Hicks-Whitfield, who hosted the show alongside the couple, has not formally addressed the cancellation. According to HGTV, the show followed the trio as they worked on their mission to revive Detroit "one block at a time." "Bargain Block," which premiered in April 2021, ran for four seasons on HGTV. "Partners Keith Bynum and Evan Thomas want to be part of restoring the iconic American city of Detroit," HGTV says. "The scrappy visionaries buy run-down and abandoned properties and transform them into affordable, stylish starter homes for first-time homebuyers."
