Celebrities can afford to get the best designers to remodel their homes, but what about when the best designers are also celebrities? That’s the premise for the new Property Brothers show Celebrity IOU, which will pair twins Drew and Jonathan Scott with some of the biggest names in Hollywood. Like, big. Brad-big. Viola-big. Forget popcorn ceilings. For this new show, just grab some real popcorn and watch Oscar-winners discuss open concept floor plans and subway tile backsplashes.The new HGTV show will pair A-listers with the Scott brothers as they tackle renovations for people in their lives. Each episode will focus on one single celebrity, who will reveal the surprise renovation to their recipient at the end of the episode. Confirmed celebs include Brad Pitt, Viola Davis, Melissa McCarthy, Jeremy Renner, Rebel Wilson, and fellow Canadian Michael Bublé. Like we said, big.The Hollywood Reporter announced the new show on Tuesday morning, teasing a handful of the renovations, which will include turning a detached garage into a guest home, redoing a backyard, and bringing a 1970’s-style condo into the 21st century. Bye-bye shag carpeting, hello marble rainfall counter tops.[video_embed id='-1']RELATED: Drew and Jonathan Scott have a true twin mind-meld[/video_embed]Speaking to THR, the Scott brothers shared their excitement over the new series. “It’s amazing to see someone who is extremely successful be grounded enough to always remember the people who helped them get there,” said Jonathan. “Being a part of this show really hits home for us,” added Drew. “This is what we love to do, transforming people’s lives through their homes.”HGTV president Jane Latman also released a statement on the new show, saying “The wonderful thing about Celebrity IOU is that it is about personal acts of kindness and thanks. We all want to find ways to help the people who are always there for us when we need them.” The Scott twins first rose to prominence on their HGTV series Property Brothers. Thanks to the show’s popularity, the BC natives expanded their Scott Brothers Entertainment holdings to include several spin-offs, including Buying and Selling, Brother Vs. Brother, Property Brothers: At Home and Property Brothers: Forever Home. The pair also appeared on 2019’s A Very Brady Renovation, which showed the brothers renovating the original home that was used in the '70s TV series The Brady Bunch. The show starred original cast members Barry Williams, Maureen McCormick, Christopher Knight, Eve Plumb, Mike Lookinland and Susan Olsen, as well as other celebrity renovators.
The brothers have expanded their empire beyond home renos to include a best-selling memoir, two country music singles, a children’s book and their newly launched quarterly lifestyle magazine Reveal. Drew, along with his wife Linda, host their weekly podcast At Home and frequently interview celebrity guests.In 2019, the brothers filmed an episode of Carpool Karaoke for Apple Music and were paired with celebrity siblings and actors Zooey and Emily Deschanel. Jonathan and Zooey began dating shortly after the foursome filmed the episode and the Property Brother and New Girl star are still going strong, even attending Jonathan and Drew’s older brother’s wedding together in October and otherwise packing on the PDA.
