HGTV has ordered a new 10-episode season of its Hawaii-based series Renovation Aloha, starring married home renovators Tristyn and Kamohai Kalama. The series follows the Kalamas and their large extended family as they transform the most dilapidated properties on the island of Oʻahu into beautiful family homes. The new season is slated to premiere in 2025.
“The impressive performance of freshman series Renovation Aloha confirms it was an instant hit for millions of HGTV viewers,” said Loren Ruch, Head of Content, HGTV. “The breathtaking and gorgeous backdrop of Hawaii is a significant factor in the show’s success, but Tristyn and Kamohai’s energetic optimism and deep connection to family and community are two other reasons that fans respond to the Kalamas family and why we expect an even bigger audience to watch as they renovate additional homes in season two.”
In every episode, Tristyn and Kamohai, who were born and raised on the island, tackle substantial renos in one of the most expensive states in the country. Luckily, they can rely on a helping hand from their family, which includes 87 first cousins, many of whom are in the construction industry. The duo has seen it all when it comes to the brutal effects island life can have on houses, including rotting foundations, insect infestations and epic water damage from the tropical climate. Faced with the worst properties imaginable, Tristyn and Kamohai will roll up their sleeves to turn the ruins into a homeowner’s paradise.
