HGTV Star Gives Status Update After Network Pulls Show Midseason

Heavy/HGTV/YouTube HGTV put a pause on its newest series

HGTV surprised fans when it decided to put a pause on its newest series, “Divided By Design” midway through the first season airing. Now, in an October 24 update post, the show’s hosts Eilyn and Ray Jimenez are sharing a status update with fans.

“A lot of you have been asking, and I’m happy to announce that the second half of Divided by Design will return in January 2025. Expect more captivating designs and unexpected twists as the journey continues — stay tuned!” Eilyn wrote in the caption.

The post featured a photo of the interior design couple on set filming a promo for their show. Ray is holding a clapperboard in the shot that shows the title “Married to Design”, which could be a working title for the couple’s series. The post also included a photo of the couple’s script for the promos and a clip of Eilyn slapping the clapperboard to start filming their promos.

While the Jimenezes work on bringing new episodes of their show to HGTV screens, fans can catch up on the first five episodes of season 1 on Max and Discovery+.
