Corus’s Home Network unveils fall slate of Canadian originals and global acquisitions


Corus Entertainment on Tuesday announced Home Network’s fall lineup, featuring two returning Canadian original hit series alongside new seasons of internationally acclaimed titles.

Third-generation builder and proud Newfoundlander Randy Spracklin returns with a historical renovation project in Season 4 of Rock Solid Builds (eight episodes x 60 minutes; produced by Cineflix). Premiering Sunday, Sept. 6 at 10 p.m. ET/PT, the new season follows Spracklin and his partner Melissa as they transform the tired interior of her recently acquired grandparents’ property in Brigus into an East Coast showpiece that blends cherished memories with a modern refresh. Other projects undertaken by Spracklin and his team in Season 4 include restoring the historic Ferryland lighthouse and turning a neglected backyard into an all-season sanctuary. Integrated content is featured from a new roster of sponsors, including Home Hardware, Kohltech, Dildo Brewing Co. and Charm Diamond Centre.

Premiering Thursday, Sept. 10 at 9 p.m. ET/PT, Season 2 of Canadian original series House of Ali (eight x 60 minutes; Nikki Ray Media) sees the return of award-winning interior designer Ali Budd as she expands her footprint to deliver more luxury transformations. “From a private villa in Costa Rica to a designer dream home in Connecticut, Budd and her team are making global moves in a style that is completely their own,” reads a Corus press release. The series gives viewers a look into the reality of high-end interior design, and the highs and lows of entrepreneurship. One of the sales partnerships for the show’s second season is with Knix, whose brand is featured via in-show story integrations.

Among the global acquisitions for Home Network’s fall season is the series premiere of The Mother Flip on Wednesday, Sept. 2 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.
