HGTV's Rock the Block Returns

The excitement is building as HGTV's acclaimed series, Rock the Block, gears up for its latest season premiere on April 14 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Following its previous success with over 13.6 million viewers, this show is set to raise the ante in home renovation reality television. This season, fans can expect an exhilarating competition between two seasoned veteran teams and two eager rookie teams ready to assert their skills and creativity in home design.

The picturesque backdrop for this season is Hamlet Homes' Worthington Ranch Community in Grantsville, Utah. Each team is given a budget of $250,000 and just six weeks to revamp identical modern properties showcasing stunning mountain vistas and expansive backyards. The team that manages to achieve the highest home appraisal will earn the bragging rights that come with claiming victory in Rock the Block, alongside a street named in their honor.

Renowned carpenter and charismatic host Ty Pennington, known for his role in earlier hit shows like Battle on the Beach, will guide the competing teams through intense challenges, ensuring that tension and drama remain at an all-time high. The veterans returning this season include star designer Alison Victoria (famous for Sin City Rehab) and the talented designer Michel Smith Boyd, a previous winner of the series. They are joined by the dynamic duo of Jonathan Knight and his brother Jordan Knight, who both bring their expertise and competitive spirit from their experience in Farmhouse Fixer.

On the rookie end, homeowners and television personalities Chelsea and Cole DeBoer from Down Home Fab, paired alongside the powerhouse renovation team of Kamohai and Tristyn Kalama from Renovation Aloha, mark a fresh face in this highly competitive environment.

The season premiere will delight fans with a two-hour episode where teams tackle designing and building their home’s kitchen, dining, and living spaces—all with the aim of making them not just beautiful but also appealing to potential buyers. Interestingly, this season introduces a twist where the judging process involves expert reviewers who will assess the completed projects without the teams present, leading to honest evaluations. Esteemed designer and host Bobby Berk (of Queer Eye fame) will be a key judge, focusing on the essence of the home's functionality and style to determine which team excels in crafting the perfect 'heart of the home.'

Subsequent episodes will engage experts from past seasons like Mina Starsiak Hawk and Jasmine Roth, who will drop in to analyze various first-floor elements, while the grand finale will conclude with Jonathan Scott of the Property Brothers assessing overall project execution, dramatic enhancements, and the finishing touches.

In keeping with the show’s ethos of giving back, the winning team will ensure a donation goes to No Kid Hungry, translating to the potential of providing 100,000 meals to children facing food insecurity. Since its inception, Rock the Block has raised enough funds to support over 500,000 meals, emphasizing HGTV's commitment to making a difference in the community.

For those eager to catch up on previous seasons, past episodes of Rock the Block are available for streaming on Max® and discovery+. Fans can expect more updates from the network through their digital platforms and social media, including Instagram, TikTok, and Threads, using the hashtag #RocktheBlock.

As Big Table Media returns to helm production duties, viewers are set for a riveting season packed with creativity, competition, and camaraderie—brought to life by the talented teams aiming to redefine home renovation in America.

Stay tuned to see who will rise to the top in this spectacular showdown of skills, style, and strategy!
