TORONTO, August 4, 2021 – From homeowners to whole towns, this fall HGTV Canada’s most-loved stars and exciting new faces make impactful transformations to last a lifetime.

Filmed throughout the GTA and Nashville, Kortney and Newfoundland-native Kenny take the reins on full-scale renovations in this Corus Studios original series.

The hotly anticipated six-episode event series Home Town Takeover (4×60 and 2×90), starring networks superstars Ben and Erin Napier, premieres Sunday, September 5 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Known for their hit series, Home Town, the #2 HGTV Canada show this spring*, the duo offers the town of Wetumpka, Alabama a once-in-a-lifetime transformation in this new spin-off. Taking on 12 major renovations throughout the community – including restaurants, shops, historic homes, public spaces, a new farmers’ market, and an entire downtown street – the series showcases how helping others truly can make an impact for generations to come.
