HGTV Orders Series

Posted on: February 23, 2016

Erin and Ben Napier revealed HGTV has ordered the series, Home Town. They made the announcement at the 5th Annual Magnolia State Bank Chili Cook Off in downtown Laurel, Miss.

“I think, in an era of ‘big-city living’, Home Town reminds folks of the value in going back to their home towns and doing what they can to be a part of them,” said Ben.

The show features the Napiers guiding home buyers through the process of choosing and renovating a home in a small, southern town. The design and implementation process relies heavily on the knowledge and assistance of local architects, craftsmen and business owners.

“Ben and I are incredibly excited for the opportunity to introduce the world to our precious town and the hardworking people in it,” said Erin. “It’s those people who demonstrate day-in and day-out that you don’t have to leave your small town to make a really big difference.”

Pre-production and casting for the show has started, though filming will not likely begin until summer. People in the process of buying a home in Laurel, Miss., in need of substantial renovation, who would like to be considered should contact hometowncasting@rtrmedia.com.
