HGTV is adding a major expansion to its wildly popular “House Hunters” franchise. The network has ordered an additional 400 episodes of “House Hunters” and “House Hunters International,” continuing to air original programming through 2026.
“House Hunters” has been a staple on HGTV since its launch in October 1999, with more than 2,400 episodes already produced. The network says the series and “House Hunters International” draw more than 13 million prime-time viewers each month. According to HGTV, “The series offers a uniquely fun and interactive viewing experience for fans as they peek into three different homes to check out floor plans and furnishings, rate them, and choose what they think is the best fit for the new homeowner.”
“House Hunters” will be produced by Pie Town Productions and “House Hunters International” will be produced by Leopard USA. (HGTV technically says “nearly 400 episodes,” but they haven’t said how close to 400 that actually is. So 399! Or 394! Maybe 396?)
