Overview

• The Sept. 10 episode, titled “Crumbling in Corktown,” served as the series finale even though it was not intended to close the five-season run.
• Keith Bynum and Evan Thomas say they learned in February 2025 that the show would not be renewed, describing the decision as an abrupt shock during production.
• The pair had at least one additional Detroit renovation underway for Season 5 that they have paused for revenue reasons and that will not appear on the show.
• They report shifting quickly to private client projects through their firm NINE Design + Homes and say their business remains healthy as they explore other media opportunities.
• HGTV has not publicly announced the cancellation, and the show’s end comes as multiple other HGTV series have recently been reported by their stars as not returning.
