Retta will continue looking for the Ugliest House in America and the Scariest House in America as HGTV has ordered new seasons for both series.
The network ordered 12 new episodes of the shows where the comedian and actress travels across the U.S. to tour properties nominated by homeowners who believe their place is the “ugliest” or “scariest” in the country.
“I’m back looking at ugly houses in America babeee!” said Retta. “And yes I am also back (with much less enthusiasm) to look at the scary ones. Look, between that months long SAG strike and the current uncertainty of the market, Mami needs the work. This mortgage won’t pay itself.”
In a fresh six-episode season of Ugliest House in America, which drew more than 10.3 million viewers in its last run, Retta will go cross-country to visit horrendous homes nominated by their owners and share her hilarious hot takes of the stunningly bad designs, cringe-worthy layouts and sorely outdated styles.
Watch on Deadline
Based on its ugly appearance, poor functionality and hideous design choices, one house will be crowned the “ugliest house in America” by HGTV and receive a stunning $150,000 renovation by network star Alison Victoria. The new season will premiere in 2026.
Scariest House in America drew more than 8.3 million viewers in its freshman season and will return with six new episodes spotlighting spine-tingling elements to embrace the spirit of Halloween.
Retta will tour eerie and terrifying houses through the Midwest, Northeast and South that owners say are haunted by scary stories and hair-raising sights. She’ll offer hilariously unfiltered views about each home’s scary appearance, bad function and fright factor.
The home deemed the “scariest” of them all will also get a renovation revival by designer Alison Victoria.
Scariest House in America Season 2 is slated to premiere in September.
