You can’t get enough of Ben and Erin Napier and what’s going on in their hometown? We couldn’t either! That’s why PEOPLE has teamed up with the skilled couple and HGTV to create Home Town Kickstart, a new renovation series. PEOPLE presents this film, which will be released in 2022.
Inspired by Ben and Erin’s efforts on Home Town and Home Town Takeover in their hometown of Laurel, Mississippi, and in Wetumpka, Alabama, on Home Town Takeover, Home Town Kickstart will follow the duo as they attempt to revitalise other small communities around the country.
Ben comments on this and what will happen in the show?
In a press release, Ben remarked, “Erin and I have rebuilt more than 80 homes in Laurel for Home Town and we’ve witnessed how these changes alter a neighbourhood for the better.” “Now, with the aid of HGTV, we’re going to keep doing what we’ve been doing and help even more little towns around the country.”
The Napiers will take a three-step approach in each tiny community to ensure they can make a long-term difference. They’ll begin by renovating the home of a local hero, then upgrade a small company in the neighbourhood. And lastly, revitalise a communal gathering space that is well-loved and well-used by all. PEOPLE will also help each town gain notice by honouring deserving residents and their experiences, which we will share with our readers.
Home Town Takeover Release Date?
“Home Town Takeover’s phenomenal success and good impact showed that the concept of small-town regeneration connects with Americans,” said Jane Latman, president of HGTV and Streaming Home Content at Discovery, Inc. “We went back through the thousands of entries we received for Home Town Takeover and picked six more towns to help with HGTV’s star power. And experience to keep this great momentum continuing with Home Town Kickstart. Furthermore, our work with PEOPLE provides another crucial presentation for the selected towns. Perhaps leading to further support and growth. While fans will have to wait until the new year to see Home Town Kickstart. HGTV isn’t going to let them go too long without seeing the Napiers.
On Sunday, December 26, the network will broadcast a new season of Home Town, as well as a holiday special called Ben’s Holiday Workshop, which will feature numerous famous guests.
