New Shows Are Part of Property Brothers’ Recent Talent Deal With HGTV

The announcement about the Scott brothers’ new shows comes a year after they signed a major development deal with HGTV’s parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery.
After a bidding war among various content producers, according to Variety, Drew and Jonathan signed a three-year “talent deal,” announced on September 14, 2022, that was described as providing “opportunities to grow beyond their already-established shows.”
“We were definitely wooed by many other major players and some of them who really, really wanted our brand on their platform,” Jonathan told Variety, adding that in the end, it was a no-brainer to stay with HGTV.
“It just feels right with HGTV because we’ve been a family,” the newly-engaged star said. “It’s not even just that it’s a job for us and a workplace. The relationship we have, it’s a symbiotic relationship where we develop the shows and we listen to the fans. We’re engaging directly with the fans with over half a million messages a week, each, from our fans, so we know what they want and the network has always been up to that with us.”
