Before they became TV’s favourite estate agents, The Property Brothers, Jonathan and Drew Scott grew up on a ranch. Now they’re helping people who’ve gotten Yellowstone Fever to find their dream Wild West homes, from mining towns, to remote ranches. But the job doesn’t stop there. Jonathan and Drew stick around to show the city slickers the ins and outs of animal and crop care, the 24/7 realities of country life and, most importantly, how to be good neighbours.

Each week, three multigenerational teams will prepare family recipes for head judge Edgar “Dook” Chase and a celebrity guest judge, including Reese Witherspoon, Jessica Chastain, Danielle Brooks, Tina Knowles, Kandi Burrus, and Tim Gunn, who have some special requests. The vibe is laidback and low stakes, with plenty of time for swapping stories, or lending a hand where it’s needed.

6. My Lottery Dream Home

Gloriously gaudy and seriously sweet host David Bromstad is back helping lotto winners to find their forever homes in cities around the US.
