NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: 'Who's Afraid of a Cheap Old House?' will premiere on May 14 at 10 pm ET. HGTV brings a brand-new home renovation show featuring stunning historic abodes with outstanding and antique architecture.

Historic preservationists Elizabeth and Ethan Finkelstein return to host the upcoming spinoff of the show 'Cheap Old Houses'. The Finkelsteins searched for houses that are old and inexpensive, but ripe for preservation, and featured the properties on their website and social media.

However, HGTV renewed and revamped their show last year and asked Instagram followers to vote on a new title. The upcoming show returns with totally a new format. This season, Elizabeth and Ethan would help homebuyers find old properties being sold at ridiculously inexpensive prices and restore the architectural gems to their new glory.
