HGTV Goes Behind the Brady Bunch Build; LMN Sets 25 All-New TV Movies This Fall

A Very Brady Renovation: Behind the Build

Since its premiere on Monday, Sept. 9, HGTV's A Very Brady Renovation has attracted more than 23.7 million viewers to the first three episodes in the series. The finale aired last night. Now, superfans can expect exclusive, behind-the-scenes content in A Very Brady Renovation: Behind the Build, premiering Monday, Oct. 7 and 14, at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Selected from more than 9,000 hours of renovation footage that HGTV captured, the episodes feature never-before-seen renovated spaces in the Brady Bunch house, the do-it-yourself projects used to create specific items from the world-famous TV home, and extended room reveal scenes with the Brady Bunch cast.

A Very Brady Renovation: Behind the Build will showcase more special guests who visit the house, including Cedric the Entertainer as well as Jerry Houser and Ron Kuhlman, Marcia and Jan's TV husbands from the spinoff series The Brady Brides. The six Brady Bunch siblings, Barry Williams (Greg), Maureen McCormick (Marcia), Christopher Knight (Peter), Eve Plumb (Jan), Mike Lookinland (Bobby) and Susan Olsen (Cindy), will transfix fans of the iconic television series as they work alongside HGTV's biggest renovation star experts Jonathan and Drew Scott (Property Brothers: Forever Home), Mina Starsiak Hawk and Karen E Laine (Good Bones), siblings Leanne and Steve Ford (Restored by the Fords), Jasmine Roth (Hidden Potential) and Lara Spencer (GMA, Flea Market Flip). The series' stars teamed up to perfectly recreate each room in the Brady house, and the Behind the Build episodes will spotlight greater details about these overhauled spaces, including the master bedroom, Mike's den and Greg's attic.
