TORONTO, Aug. 31,
2022 /CNW/ - This fall marks the start of a landmark
anniversary for HGTV Canada, celebrating 25 years as a
network after launching in Canada
on October 17, 1997. The iconic
brand, synonymous with premium lifestyle content, has a proven
legacy as a Top 10 specialty station,* and continues to grow its
roster of homegrown star talent and internationally sought-after
Canadian original titles. Kicking off the celebration this October
are new and returning series starring some of the network's
celebrated talent, including Island of Bryan,
Sarah's Mountain Escape, Making It Home With
Kortney and Kenny, and Property Brothers: Forever
Home. The celebration continues throughout the 2022/2023
broadcast year with the premiere of nine additional Corus Studios
series, marathons of some of the network's biggest hits, and
special anniversary videos from HGTV Canada's stars.
First this fall is HGTV Canada's most-watched series, Island
of Bryan (8x60),** returning with new episodes on
Sunday, October 2 at
10 p.m. ET/PT. The epic
Baeumler family adventure continues as they struggle to finish
their Florida home, while Bryan
hits the road in his RV and the demands of Sarah's thriving design
business grow.
Kortney Wilson and Kenny Brain also return with Making It Home
With Kortney and Kenny (10x60), Season 3, premiering
Tuesday, October 11 at
10 p.m. ET/PT. The dynamic duo
help a new set of homeowners turn their dysfunctional and dated
properties into dream homes by making strategic renovation
decisions and keeping the homeowners needs and style in mind.
Combining Kortney's extensive flipping and real estate expertise
with Kenny's contracting skills, these best friends' warm hearts
and homes. The popular series is a hit on-air and online, ranking
as the #1 visited show site on HGTV.ca during its Season 2
run.***
Then, viewers go behind-the-scenes on Sarah Richardson's most ambitious project yet in
Sarah's Mountain Escape (10x60), premiering
Wednesday, October 12
at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Sarah and her
husband, Alexander Younger, plan to
turn a recently purchased run-down B&B in Whistler, B.C. into an operating, profitable,
four-season luxury vacation rental property. As the pair juggle
commuting between B.C. and Ontario, balancing the demands of home and
business with completing this new project, Sarah's Mountain
Escape captures this wild "year in the life" and the final
stunning reimagining of the 1970's Bavarian-themed chalet.
The Scott Brothers' mission to transform houses into lasting
dream homes continues in Season 3 of Property Brothers: Forever
Home (20x60), premiering Monday, November 21 at 9
p.m. ET/PT. This enduring franchise hits its own
milestone celebration this year with the series' 100th episode
closing out the season.
