One of HGTV‘s most popular series is making a temporary return. Good Bones, which ended its run in 2023 after eight seasons, will be back for “a special limited season,” which premieres Aug. 14.
The three-week run follows Mina Starsiak Hawk and her mom Karen E Laine as their lives evolve past their time renovating homes in Indianapolis.
Mina will purchase a very dated but ‘groovy’ lake house just north of Indy and give it cosmetic updates to create the peaceful family getaway of her dreams. Karen will set off on a new adventure in Wilmington, North Carolina, where she’ll risk her retirement nest egg on a bungalow that requires more work than anticipated to become a colorful beachy oasis.
The extended 90-minute premiere episode will focus on Mina’s journey through a rocky home buying process and the renovation of her restful lakeside retreat, but along the way she must make a tough decision about her future. The subsequent two hour-long episodes will feature Karen’s purchase of a 120-year-old beach bungalow with challenges at every turn, including weather that threatens to destroy the entire project mid-build.
When the end of Good Bones was announced last summer, Starsiak Hawk called it “end of an era.” At the time, HGTV said, “While this is the end of Good Bones as we know it, we’re currently in talks with Mina and Karen about other projects.”
Just last month, Starsiak Hawk addressed a potential return to Good Bones on her podcast, indicating that was unlikely.
“I just think it would be a really bad decision for me, like, mentally and emotionally, let alone financially, to kinda get back in that place,” she said, adding that she would consider it for a million dollars per episode.
Good Bones is produced by High Noon Entertainment.
