Drew and Jonathan Scott return to HGTV with another season of Celebrity IOU, featuring star-studded guests like John Stamos, Eva Longoria, and Mario Lopez. The Property Brothers collaborate closely with these celebrities as they surprise loved ones with heartfelt home makeovers. This season delivers five new episodes launching during the holiday period, showcasing emotional stories of gratitude and transformation.
John Stamos spearheads the season opener on December 28 by renovating a garage and patio for his lifelong friend Ken. The project honors Ken’s musical past and his father’s memory by creating a modern, inspiring music room. Drew Scott highlights the deep friendship between Stamos and Ken, noting the longevity of their bond as one of the show’s emotional cores. Jonathan Scott reveals moments of levity on set, such as playful mishaps with Stamos, emphasizing the genuine nature of these celebrity participants.
Eva Longoria brings a sharp design eye and hands-on approach to her episode. Drew admires her decisiveness and energy during renovations, while Jonathan appreciates her direct communication style, describing her as both bossy and delightful. Mario Lopez also joins the build, working hard despite being new to major renovations. The team transforms his friend’s family area into a functional space that supports both living and homeschooling.
In addition to Celebrity IOU, the Scott brothers preview their upcoming series Don’t Hate Your House, premiering December 29. This show focuses on practical home improvements that help owners fall in love with their current properties amid rising costs. Drew emphasizes the economic advantages of renovating over moving, while Jonathan promises straightforward advice paired with tough love to ensure the best results.
Jonathan also opens up about rebuilding fiancée Zooey Deschanel’s childhood home, which was lost to a fire earlier this year. The reconstruction will use advanced fireproof and earthquake-resistant technologies, setting a new standard for resilient home building. Both Scott brothers are committed to sharing knowledge about safer and more sustainable construction methods through their shows and outreach efforts.
Celebrity IOU airs December 28 at 9/8c and Don’t Hate Your House premieres December 29 at 8/7c on HGTV. Fans can expect heartfelt stories, expert renovations, and a continuation of the Scott brothers’ mission to transform homes and lives.
