EXCLUSIVE: HGTV has renewed its top-rated home reno competition series Rock the Block for a sixth season, which will come with a twist. The seven-episode Season 6 is set for premiere in Spring 2025 with returning host Ty Pennington (Battle on the Beach), and will feature for the first time two veteran teams and two rookie teams facing off for a win.
Star designer Alison Victoria (Windy City Rehab) and former Rock the Block champion and high-end designer Michel Smith Boyd (Luxe for Less), along with home restoration expert Jonathan Knight (Farmhouse Fixer) and his New Kids on the Block bandmate and brother Jordan Knight (Farmhouse Fixer Camp Revamp) will rep the veteran teams. Competing on the series for the first time, the rookie teams will feature married home reno pros Chelsea and Cole DeBoer (Down Home Fab) and house-flipping experts Kamohai and Tristyn Kalama (Renovation Aloha).
Pennington will charge the HGTV powerhouse duos to face-off in an epic renovation battle—this time with bigger houses and bigger challenges just outside Salt Lake City, Utah—for bragging rights and a street named in their honor, per HGTV.
Each team will have just six weeks and a budget of $250,000 to renovate identical modern properties that boast mountain views, more interior bonus spaces and the largest backyards in series’ history, transforming them with their signature vision and personalized design style.
“Ratings juggernaut Rock the Block delivered HGTV’s top series three years in a row and appeals to millions of fans in our key demos,” said Betsy Ayala, Interim Head of Content, HGTV. “We incorporate a surprise element each season, and this season we’re taking the format to the next level by mixing returning block vets and some first-time contenders to amp up the competition and create some unexpected twists.”
The homes are built by Utah-based Hamlet Homes.
Rock the Block is produced by Big Table Media.
