HGTV’s Fix My Frankenhouse is back, with a new season starting Wednesday, April 2 at 9|8c. Husband-and-wife renovation team Mike and Denese Butler return to transform bizarre, mismatched homes into beautiful, practical spaces.
Here’s the Lowdown: The new season features eight episodes where Mike and Denese address “Frankenstein” houses – homes with strange additions, awkward layouts, and inconsistent designs. Mike handles the construction, fixing problematic floor plans, while Denese focuses on the design, incorporating the homeowners’ personal styles. The season premiere, airing on April 2, shows the couple dealing with a 1970s home featuring wasted space, a mismatched kitchen, and a perilous spiral staircase.
What This Means Now: Viewers can expect to see dramatic home transformations, with the Butlers creating functional and aesthetically pleasing spaces. The show also presents a bit of personal drama as Mike quits his corporate job to focus solely on their growing renovation business. Master carpenters John Butler and Peter Doyle (Mike and Denese’s fathers) also contribute their skills, crafting custom pieces for the projects.
The Bigger Picture: Fix My Frankenhouse taps into the popular home renovation genre, but with a unique focus on particularly challenging properties. The show displays the power of creative design and skilled construction to overcome even the most awkward layouts. Fans can catch up on the first season on Max® and discovery+, and new episodes will stream on Max® the day after they air on HGTV, starting April 3.
