Celebrity IOU Returns to HGTV With Star-Studded Lineup Giving Back

Los Angeles, CA – HGTV is spreading holiday cheer with a new season of “Celebrity IOU,” premiering December 28th at 9/8c. This season, Drew and Jonathan Scott team up with A-list celebrities, including John Stamos, Ike Barinholtz, Eva Longoria, Mario Lopez, and William Shatner, as they embark on heartfelt home renovations to surprise people who’ve made a significant impact in their lives.

The Property Brothers provide their expertise as these celebrities roll up their sleeves, get hands-on with demolition, design, and construction, creating dream spaces for their deserving loved ones.

The season kicks off with John Stamos’s episode, where he transforms his best friend Ken’s childhood garage into a modern music room and patio. Stamos hopes the space will inspire Ken, who ceased creating music after his father’s passing, to pick up his instruments again and enjoy a space for family and friends.

“There is a certain type of celebrity that comes on our show… They have big hearts. They are just everyday great people and want to give back,” Drew Scott explained. Jonathan added, “When the person really wants to be part of the whole process” that is when a project is successful.

The brothers shared insights into working with the other celebrities. They were impressed by William Shatner’s hands-on approach, even at 93, as he grabbed a sledgehammer to help with demolition. They described Eva Longoria as a boss, one with directness, who was instrumental in her project and offered insight on her home design. They found Mario Lopez to be incredibly hardworking and dedicated to his renovations.

Following the “Celebrity IOU” premiere, HGTV will air a new season of “Don’t Hate Your House,” on December 29th at 8/7c. The brothers use “tough love” to encourage homeowners to see new potential in their houses and provide them with ideas to fall back in love with their homes.

In a related interview, Jonathan Scott discussed rebuilding his fiancée Zooey Deschanel’s childhood home, which was destroyed in a fire. He expressed the importance of using fireproof and earthquake-resistant construction methods and materials to create a safer home.

Both Drew and Jonathan emphasized the importance of educating homeowners about building practices and protecting themselves from potential scams during rebuilding efforts.
