Alison Victoria returns for eight all-new episodes of “Windy City Rehab,” HGTV announced in a press release. The new season premieres on Tuesday, May 23, 2023 at 9 p.m. Eastern and Pacific times.
“It’s a New Day. It’s a New Season!” the interior designer announced on Instagram.
The series, which premiered in 2019, follows Victoria as she restores old homes around her hometown of Chicago. She has since become a network staple, competing in “Rock the Block,” mentoring in “Battle on the Beach” and giving a makeover to the winner of “Ugliest House in America.”
“Empowered by her deep expertise and business savvy, Alison will overcome every renovation obstacle to deliver innovative and gorgeous homes for her clients located in the Windy City and beyond,” the network explained of the upcoming season.
To kick off the season, Victoria is helping Jen and Mike with their new Edison Park home.
“The couple has big plans for the tiny three bedroom, two bath ranch-style home, including adding a full second level,” according to the episode description. “The dream designs come to a halt when it becomes clear that construction shortcuts have impacted the property, the budget and the timeline. It’s an all-too familiar feeling for Alison, but she finds creative solutions to get the renovation back on track.”

The other seven teams are Egypt Sherrod and Mike Jackson of “Married to Real Estate;” Jasmine Roth of “Help!
