Anna Camp (Scream 7, True Blood, Pitch Perfect) is headed to HGTV with the spooky new series A Very Haunted Renovation, which will follow “six brave renovators and designers who will stay at one of the most haunted houses in America for 31 days with only one mission: completing the renovations,” per the show’s release.
As TV Insider reports, in each episode, the brave renovators will face elimination challenges that put their nerves, creativity, and design skills to the test as they bring the home’s spine-tingling spaces back from the dead. Throughout the season, design expert Michel Smith Boyd will mentor and evaluate each unnerving overhaul alongside esteemed guest judges, including production designer Hannah Beachler, paranormal investigator Jack Osbourne, actor Billy Porter, actress Cassandra Peterson, horror film director Eli Roth, and actress Lulu Wilson.
Notorious Bihl Manor, a tormented mansion in Fremont, Ohio, will be the first to undergo the spooky renovation. “Bihl Manor is one of the most haunted homes in America,” says Anna. “Unoccupied, falling apart and on the verge of demolition, no one is brave enough to step foot inside — until now.” In the premiere episode, the competitors will split into two teams of three for a bedroom design battle. Each trio will have just four days to complete a stylish makeover inspired by the spirits of Lizzie and Alvie Bihl that are rumored to haunt the sleeping quarters.
According to HGTV, Camp will oversee the contestants as they “face off to transform one of America’s most notoriously tormented homes into a fully livable masterpiece,” all in pursuit of a $50,000 cash prize. “In each episode, the competitors will face frightening challenges to give a space in the house a complete redo, and design expert Michel Smith Boyd will mentor and judge alongside a celebrity guest to evaluate each unnerving overhaul.”
A Very Haunted Renovation premieres on HGTV Tuesday, September 15 at 8|7c. Each new episode will be available to stream the next day on HBO Max beginning September 16.
