Clovis will help homeowners redesign, gut, and build new properties and take viewers along the ride.
“Running into unexpected major renovation problems can feel like a punch to the gut. I’ve seen it happen countless times to homeowners as well as experienced it firsthand,” Clovis said in a statement.
“I am passionate about fixing renovation issues – and finding innovative construction solutions. This is what I am on a mission to do. I want this show to reflect happy heartfelt builds while also paying close attention to renovation issues that can feel insurmountable.”
Clovis added that the jobs the show will tackle “require more thought and creativity” than typical renovation challenges.
“We are thrilled to continue our relationship with Corus and Sebastian Clovis, which started over six years ago, with an exciting new series called Gut Job,” said David Way, president, Great Pacific Media.
“Seb’s immense talent, relentless energy, integrity and creativity will shine as he guides homeowners through the most daunting renos of their lives – his empathetic touch, work ethic and humour really come to life in this new series.”
Gut Job will premiere on HGTV Canada in 2022.
