Overview
- Rogers announced Tuesday that Bryan and Sarah Baeumler will serve as hosts of Home Town Takeover Canada while Erin and Ben Napier will appear only as guest stars.
- Production on the Canadian season is set to begin in June 2026 and the series is scheduled to air on HGTV and stream on Citytv+ in fall 2026.
- Erin and Ben Napier have said they cannot host the Canadian edition because Canadian broadcast rules require Canadian-hosted productions, which limits their role to guest appearances.
- The Baeumlers will also produce and star in two new Rogers-backed HGTV series — Baeumler Ranch, a large Rocky Mountain ranch transformation, and Sarah Baeumler By Design, a timed design series that is already filming.
- The moves follow Rogers’ 2024 deal for Canadian HGTV rights from Corus and signal a push for big, locally produced renovation projects that aim to spotlight small towns and boost Canadian production jobs.
