For Immediate Release
TORONTO, July 17, 2025 — Following the Season 2 success of Home Network’s Renovation Resort, the #1 Canadian Original specialty series starts principal photography on Season 3 in August.* This time, Scott McGillivray and Bryan Baeumler head to the lake, to turn a long-neglected resort into a vacation destination. They enlist four all-new contractor-designer duos to battle it out and create one-of-a-kind vacation homes in just eight weeks. Scott and Bryan serve as co-hosts and judges, deciding which winning pair receives a game-changing $100,000 prize and the coveted title of Renovation Resort Champions. Produced by MEM in association with Corus Studios for Home Network, Renovation Resort is shooting in Ontario and slated to premiere in spring 2026.
Production of Season 3 swiftly follows the Season 2 finale, which awarded father-daughter duo Hollie and Graham the winning title this past spring. With ample out-of-home and on-air support, Renovation Resort was promoted across Canada as part of the exclusive Canadian Original lineup on the newly launched Home Network. A watch-and-win contest and consumer event complemented the season’s promotional efforts. Fans were eager to follow along, as viewership grew by 43% throughout the season run (season finale vs. premiere) making the series the #1 reality competition show on specialty and the #1 Canadian lifestyle series on specialty.*
“Scott McGillivray and Bryan Baeumler have a legacy of leading hit series for Corus Entertainment,” said Rachel Nelson, Vice President of Original Programming and Head of Corus Studios. “Renovation Resort is an example of the original content Corus prioritizes – timely concepts, proven formats, expert hosts, all working together to showcase the best in lifestyle and entertainment. We’re thrilled to continue our commitment to both the series and our production partner MEM as we embark on Season 3.”
With ample opportunity for integration and partnerships, Corus Entertainment welcomes the initial Season 3 sponsors. Wayfair becomes the Official Furnisher of Renovation Resort, in addition to their larger partnership with Home Network in effect this summer. Pollard Window & Doors brings the cottage framework together, while Clorox handles with renovation mess as the Official Cleaner of Renovation Resort. HOFT Solutions provides the properties with privacy and ambience through their stylish outdoor screens, and Veradek Outdoor extends the outdoor oasis with their sustainable and durable products. Corus continues to explore additional sponsorship opportunities for Season 3 in-show integration and network partnership.
“We’re absolutely thrilled to kick off production on Season 3 of Renovation Resort,” said Nanci MacLean. “Following the overwhelming success of last season, the energy and creativity going into this next chapter are bigger than ever. With Scott and Bryan back at the helm and an all-new lineup of talented contractor-designer duos, audiences can expect jaw-dropping transformations, fierce competition, and heartwarming moments. We can’t wait for viewers to see what’s in store when the series returns in spring 2026.”
