A new series with one long, but the fascinating tease of a title is one of the most buzzed-about program concepts coming to HGTV in 2022. 'I Bought a Dump... Now What?' is a four-part docuseries that chronicles families as they embark on their home repair projects.

'I Bought A Dump ... Now What?' follows homeowners who have bought run-down houses to turn them into their ideal homes. These urban pioneers may find themselves behind time, over budget, and tired if they attempt to undertake the overhauls themselves to save money. The procedure can put many parts of a young couple's or family's relationship to the test, especially if they are taking this step together for the first time. Check out HGTV's 'House Party,' 'Unsellable Houses,' and 'Outgrown' if viewing house renovation projects from your couch is one of your guilty pleasures!
