Celebrity IOU is back for another season packed with A-listers! The heartwarming show, which debuted in 2020, features celebrities surprising special people in their lives with dream home renovations.
Remember that time Brad Pitt surprised his longtime makeup artist? Or when Rebel Wilson tackled a makeover for her childhood mentor? Celebrity IOU has delivered countless tearjerking moments alongside impressive design transformations.
This eighth season promises to be no different. The Property Brothers, Drew, and Jonathan Scott, are returning to guide a star-studded cast through the renovation process.
Get ready to see Grammy Award-winning singer Zach Braff, legendary skateboarder Tony Hawk, Golden Globe winner Jennifer Jason Leigh, the talented Mandy Moore, Academy Award winner Mira Sorvino, Emmy winner Wanda Sykes, and the iconic Danny Trejo get their hands dirty for a good cause.
While the identities of the recipients remain under wraps, HGTV has teased some of the incredible projects in store. Imagine a custom-designed gaming room, a complete garage overhaul, or a luxurious lounge fit for royalty. These are just a few examples of the life-changing makeovers viewers can expect this season.
Executive producer Drew Scott promises that the celebrities are fully invested in the renovations. “They’re always up for trying new things,” he says. “They also bring unique ideas to the table because they know the person they’re surprising so well. They come to win!”
Celebrity IOU boasts an impressive roster of past participants over its seven-season run. From Michael Bublé surprising his grandfather’s caretaker to Glee’s Darren Criss transforming his manager’s garage, the show has witnessed countless acts of gratitude expressed through home makeovers.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s Terry Crews surprised his driver with a beautiful garden renovation, and Zoe Saldana, the star of Avatar, treated her longtime makeup artist to a dream space.
Celebrity IOU is just one of the many successful shows produced by the Property Brothers. Their empire began with the original Property Brothers reality series, and since then, they’ve expanded into a property-flipping and design powerhouse.
