Home Network
Home Network brings viewers the very best in renovation and home
design with nine new and returning Canadian original titles.
Audiences will feel at home with the familiar faces of Canada's favourite and established home
renovation stars, plus the introduction of talented new
personalities ready to make their mark.
Three brand-new series are currently in production. In
Beer Budget Reno (10x60 - Proper Television),
lifestyle expert Kristen Coutts
delivers life-changing renos for people who are told they can't
afford them, transforming tired outdated spaces into something
fresh and functional. For Rentovation (13x30 - Nikki
Ray Media Agency), designer Natalie
Chong helps renters transform transient spaces with
nonpermanent solutions that give forever-home vibes without
forever-living commitments. Then, Building Baeumler
(10x60 - Si Entertainment) sees fan-favourites Bryan and Sarah Baeumler give viewers an inside
look at their lives as they tackle a resort renovation in the
Florida Keys, expand their Bahamas
property and invest in a new project in the area, and tackle a
personal renovation back home in Canada.
Additionally, three returning titles have wrapped production and
are expected to premiere in Winter/Spring 2025. This includes
Renovation Resort, Season 2 (8x60 - MEM) with
Bryan Baeumler and Scott McGillivray, Scott's Vacation House
Rules, Season 6 (8x60 - MEM) with Scott and co-host
Debra Salmoni, and Season 2 of
Pamela Anderson's home-renovation
show Pamela's Garden of
Eden (8x60 - Fireworks Media Group).
Come 2025, three additional series will be in pre-production or
development. The all-new Life is Messy (8x60 - Scott
Brothers Entertainment) with Kortney
Wilson and Kenny Brain
follows the duo as they work with families facing unique life
changes that have put a strain on both their relationships and
their homes. Titles in development include new seasons of
Rock Solid Builds (8x60 – Cineflix Productions), and
House of Ali (8x60 - Nikki Ray Media Agency).
Flavour Network
Flavour Network turns up the heat in the food space, with three
returning hits and three upcoming new Canadian originals packed
full of flavour, fresh perspective and star power.
Winter 2025 will see the premiere of
Pamela's Cooking with Love (8x60 -
Fireworks Media Group) hosted by Hollywood icon Pamela
Anderson as she welcomes world-renowned chefs to Vancouver
Island, creating beautiful plant-based meals for family and
friends. Next year will also see the premiere of new seasons of
Great Chocolate Showdown (8x60 - Nikki Ray Media
Agency) with Anna Olson,
Cynthia Tooley and Steve Hodge putting 10 home bakers to the
ultimate test in the indulgent world of chocolate for a grand
prize, and Carnival Eats (13x30 - Alibi
Entertainment), where Noah Cappe
brings viewers along on a food-frenzied roller coaster of culinary
delights.
Meanwhile, comedian Andrew Phung
heads into production this fall on Big Burger Battle
(6x60 - Nikki Ray Media Agency). With judges George Motz and Connie
DeSousa, the newly greenlit series will see seven
burger-obsessed cooks and chefs come together to crown the world's
best Burger Master. Then, with a fresh season of Top Chef
Canada on air now with Season 11, the most prestigious
culinary competition in the country will return for Season 12 (8x60
- Insight Productions Ltd.), heading into production next year.
Currently at MIPCOM, Corus Studios is proudly presenting many of
these titles for international distribution including Big
Burger Battle, Building Baeumler, Life

Cooking with Love, Pamela's Garden of Eden, Renovation

The new HomeNetwork.ca offers a fresh take on real estate, DIY
projects, home decor and more, delivering inspiring articles,

vibrant food culture, from honest reviews to delicious recipes,
