Nicole Curtis Makes Surprise Return to HGTV in New Season of ‘Rehab Addict’
A fan-favorite HGTV star is making a return to TV.
Home renovation expert Nicole Curtis is back on the network with a new season of Rehab Addict, premiering June 24. In four all-new episodes, Curtis embarks on one of her biggest challenges yet as she fights to save two decrepit properties more than 1,500 miles apart.
New season of ‘Rehab Addict’ will take place in Detroit and Wyoming
The season begins in Wyoming, where Curtis is taking on an 1890s home that is the victim of a bad flip. She bought the house sight unseen, but she believes there’s a gem underneath the cheap modern upgrades. Once she rips out the features from the modern flip, she discovers original floors and plaster walls. Meanwhile, she manages to put a breathtaking twist on the home’s hideous exterior.
Back in November 2024, Curtis teased the Wyoming renovation in an Instagram post.
“Have you ever been looking at house listings and see this flipped crap & then notice year built : 1895. Well, on one particular day, I had enough,” she wrote. “My revenge on this terrible flipper ? I bought the house and meticulously UNFLIPPED IT. I would love to be a fly in the room when they watch these episodes.”
While Curtis is hard at work in Wyoming, she gets an urgent call that forces her to return to her home turf of Detroit. Squatters are living in a 1928 home she’s purchased, forcing her to undertake a massive cleanup of the disgusting property. But beneath the trash are charming original details, including subway tile in the bathroom, a built-in telephone stand, and a laundry chute.
Nicole Curtis wants ‘to show by example’
Curtis’ HGTV return comes several years after she last appeared on the network. Rehab Addict aired from 2010 to 2018. She then stepped away from TV for several years before briefly returning with Rehab Addict Rescue in 2021 and Rehab Addict Lake House in 2022.
In a February 2025 Instagram post, Curtis teased her new show, saying that she wanted to show people that it was possible to renovate old homes while preserving their unique architectural details and features.
“My soul is crushed when I see these ‘restored’ houses hit the market,” she wrote. “I’m not coming back to TV for the money, fame, or fancy wardrobe —-it’s to show by example.”
Her fans couldn’t be more excited to see her work her magic on more dilapidated older homes.
“I’m so excited. Nicole is so genuine and got me hooked in rehab shows,” one person commented on Instagram.
“YAY@! so EXCITED I’ve missed you Nicole!” another wrote.
“Oh good,” one fan chimed in. “I’ve really missed seeing her work.”
Rehab Addict premieres Tuesday, June 24, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on HGTV. Episodes stream the next day on Max and discovery+.
