'Farmhouse Fixer' Season 2: Release date, cast, plot and how to watch the TLC show
NEW ENGLAND: For most of us city-dwellers, living in a quaint, historic farmhouse might sound like a distant dream. Thanks to the booming real-estate scene, many of these historic homes are being dismantled to be replaced with modern houses and condos, now making it an impossible dream. Tired of watching some of these stunning, historic structures being torn, Jonathan Knight stepped in to save the day.
While many people might recognize Knight as the famous member of the boy-band group 'New Kids on the Block', not many know that this Grammy-nominated singer is also an excellent renovation expert. HGTV fans were left feeling pleasantly surprised watching Knight in action during season 1 of 'Farmhouse Fixer' as he traveled across New England with fellow designer Kristina Crestin to restore old homes, or as HGTV puts it, "breathing new life into the historic homes". Thanks to the raging success of the show, HGTV decided to renew it for season 2. So, if you're curious to know more about the upcoming season 2 of 'Farmhouse Fixer', then keep reading.
