HGTV Orders ‘Home Town Rescue’

HGTV has greenlit new event series “Home Town Rescue” (working title), starring Ben and Erin Napier who will take on their biggest project yet – an entire town in need of a renovation. The logline: the Napiers will mobilize members of one community to renovate multiple individual homes in the town and upgrade public spaces, such as parks, local diners and/or recreational centers.

The husband and wife duo, who currently star “Home Town,” helped rebuild their own neck of the woods in Laurel, Mississippi — inspiring the population to transform the town’s empty storefronts and houses that were in disrepair into a thriving destination for tourists and locals alike.

“Home Town Rescue” is a six-episode series slated to premiere on HGTV in 2021.
