Attention, Ben and Erin Napier's fans: There's finally a release date for Season 7!
HGTV announced that Season 7 of its popular show "Home Town," starring the Napiers, will return Jan. 7, 2024.
Erin Napier shared the exciting news on her Instagram Monday, Nov. 13, telling viewers they have "waited so patiently ... and we are BACK."
And if January is just too much of a wait to see new content with the popular couple, they will be in the HGTV special "Home Town Holidays," a one-hour show airing Dec. 17 at 8 p.m. E.T/P.T. on the network.
Here's everything we know about the upcoming season and the holiday special:
What is 'Home Town Holidays'?
"Home Town Holidays" is HGTV's new special featuring Ben and Erin Napier. In a press release issued by the network, it says that "the pair will revisit past homeowners and grant their Christmas wishes with special handmade items."
It airs Dec. 17 on HGTV.
What to expect from Season 7 of 'Home Town'
While HGTV and the Napiers haven't released too much information on their next season quite yet, we do know a bit of what the premiere has in store.
"In the season opener, Ben is recovering from shoulder surgery so he enlists his best friends ,Jim Rasberry and Josh Nowell, to help Erin renovate a home for a family looking to escape the cold Canadian winters," reads HGTV's press release.
"The new Laurel residents are hoping Ben and Erin can find them a property with enough outdoor space for their family of six to enjoy their new southern digs."
'Home Town' was already renewed for Season 8
"Home Town" isn't going anywhere in the near future as it was announced earlier this year that it had already been renewed for an eighth season.
Ben Napier and HGTV broke the news in September via Instagram, much to the delight of viewers, and shared a photo of the Napiers along with the announcement.
"BREAKING NEWS: #HGTVHomeTown has been renewed for Season 8! đ đ," the post read.
What the Napiers have been up to
When it comes to their careers, the Napiers are certainly on a roll. Their personal lives also seem to be thriving.
In September, Erin Napier posted several photos of the barn renovation project her husband worked on for her birthday.
Ben Napier has also been focused on his health lately and recently showed off a more svelte figure. His wife applauded his efforts on Instagram, writing, â@scotsman.co got hardcore about his health and fitness last winter ahead of his big shoulder surgery that was in march so he could sleep better on his back and lower his BP.â
Why the Napiers are protective of their girls and social media
The Napiers might use social media as a tool to help promote their work, but they're not so keen on the idea of their two young daughters using it. The couple recently started a nonprofit called Osprey to help parents who prefer to keep their children off of social media. In an essay for TODAY.com, Erin Napier spoke about their decision.
"A lot of people are like, âYouâre so naive,â for thinking we can keep our kids off of social media and away from cell phones. But itâs not a forbidden fruit thing. We donât intend to ever treat it that way for our girls," she said.
"What we intend to teach them is that you can live the most incredible life, and you can do and see and be anything in the world, if you are not tethered to something fake."
