Jonathan Knight Teases HGTV 'Crashers' Return in 2027

HGTV personality and New Kids on the Block singer Jonathan Knight has announced that new episodes of the home renovation series "Crashers" are slated for a 2027 release, addressing a perceived hiatus in the show's recent programming. Knight, aged 57, shared this update via an Instagram post on August 27, accompanied by a behind-the-scenes video of a project under renovation. This news follows the conclusion of the show's initial season, which comprised 13 episodes, with the eleventh installment airing on August 11. The announcement generated significant fan engagement, with viewers suggesting potential filming locations across the United States. Responding to a fan's inquiry on Instagram about future filming sites, Knight indicated that production is already in progress in a "new state." Previously, the current season of "Crashers" has been filmed in Colorado and California. Knight also hinted at a potential return to his New England roots in a subsequent August 29 post. He shared an image of a door at his barn in Essex, Massachusetts, expressing his enjoyment of filming "so close to home" and the ability to visit his property, which he described as "ready for Halloween year round." This barn is a restored 1700s-era structure situated on a 7-acre property where Knight resides with his husband, Harley Rodriguez. The property also features a garden and various farm animals, as previously detailed to the Boston Herald in 2019. The format of "Crashers" involves surprising homebuyers with an offer for a free renovation project. Knight has previously shared that he was initially hesitant to embrace the role of surprising strangers but has become more comfortable with the process over time. The series is a reboot of an earlier HGTV program with a similar concept. Knight's involvement in "Crashers" combines his passion for home restoration with his established television presence, appealing to his existing fanbase and attracting new viewers interested in home improvement content. The confirmation of new episodes in 2027 provides a clear timeline for fans eager to see more of Knight's renovation projects and the "Crashers" format. The show's ability to secure new filming locations and continue production suggests a positive reception and ongoing support from HGTV. Knight's personal connection to his Massachusetts property, highlighted in his recent posts, adds a layer of authenticity and personal investment to his television work, further engaging his audience.
