HGTV’s beloved series, “HOME TOWN,” has exciting news to share as it’s been officially renewed for an eighth season. Ben and Erin Napier, the show’s charismatic hosts, couldn’t contain their enthusiasm as they shared the announcement.
Breaking the news, both HGTV and Ben Napier joined forces in a social media post, exclaiming, “BREAKING NEWS: #HGTVHomeTown has been renewed for Season 8!” They also assured fans that for those eagerly awaiting the Season 7 premiere, a date and time for marking calendars would be unveiled shortly.
To keep the anticipation levels high, Ben and Erin Napier tantalized fans with a brief sneak peek from the forthcoming episodes of “HOME TOWN’s” seventh season. Although they didn’t reveal specific details about the projects, they confidently declared, “We can’t show you just yet what they’re working on, but we can assure you that you’re going to love this next season of #HGTVHomeTown!”
While gearing up for the new seasons of “HOME TOWN,” the Napiers remain busy with a plethora of other projects, including ventures within the realm of home improvement. In an Instagram post, Erin delightedly announced her partnership with York Wallcoverings for a line of peel-and-stick wallpaper.

Ben Napier’s Biggest achievement
HGTV luminary Erin Napier took to Instagram to celebrate her husband’s remarkable health and fitness journey. Since the beginning of 2022, Ben, her co-host on “Home Town,” has shown unwavering dedication to his pursuit of a healthier lifestyle.
In a heartwarming video shared by Erin, Ben confidently flaunts his transformation. Dressed in an oxford button-down shirt and chinos, he gracefully drapes a coat over his arm, all set to the rhythm of Jim Croce’s “You Don’t Mess Around With Jim” in the background. Erin’s pride in her husband’s achievements is unmistakable.
In her caption, Erin provides more context to Ben’s inspiring transformation. She reveals that he embarked on his health and fitness journey in earnest the previous winter, just before a significant shoulder surgery scheduled for March.
The goal was to improve his sleep quality and lower his blood pressure, making the surgery and recovery more manageable. But there was another powerful motivator driving his commitment—their two beloved daughters. The couple welcomed their first child, Helen, in 2018, and their second daughter, Mae, in 2021.
Speaking about his motivations, Ben shared his thoughts with Today, saying,
“Bringing Helen home and experiencing those initial weeks with her, witnessing how rapidly children grow and change every day, it truly caught my attention. Each day she was different, and I wanted to savor every moment of her life. I aspire to lead a long and healthy life so that I can be there for Erin and Helen.”
