Christina Haack and Tarek El Moussa's shows canceled at HGTV, per reports. Here's a complete timeline of their home renovation series and spinoffs.
Real estate moguls and exes Christina Haack and Tarek El Moussa are each saying goodbye to one of their HGTV shows, according to reports. A source confirmed to People that HGTV has decided not to renew Haack's Christina on the Coast for another season. The second half of Season 5 of the series debuted in February, just three months after Haack's other show, Christina in the Country, premiered its second season late last year. Haack's ex-husband, Tarek El Moussa, and his wife, Selling Sunset's Heather Rae El Moussa, are also bidding adieu to one of their shows. While the couple does have another season of The Flip Off underway, in which Haack also costars, HGTV did not renew their other show, The Flipping El Moussas, a source told People. The second season of The Flipping El Moussas debuted on the network in December 2024. Haack and El Moussa established themselves as HGTV mainstays in 2013, with the premiere of their 10-season series Flip or Flop. The pair first embarked on their journey with the network as a married couple, before their divorce in 2018. Together, Haack and El Moussa have debuted several shows over the last decade. Below, take a look at their entire roster of series — from the one that started it all to the array of home improvement spinoffs that followed. 'Flip or Flop' (2013-2022) Premiering on HGTV in April 2013, Flip or Flop was Haack and El Moussa's introduction to the world of network television. Haack and El Moussa, who'd been married nearly four years at the time of the show's premiere, chronicled their experiences buying and remodeling fixer-uppers in California. While the series maintained its popularity on the network, Haack and El Moussa announced that they were separating in December 2016. Season 7 marked the first season Haack and El Moussa filmed after deciding to separate. 'Like many couples, we have had challenges in our marriage," the statement read. "We had an unfortunate misunderstanding about six months ago and the police were called to our house in an abundance of caution." They continued, "During this process, we are committed to our kids and being the best parents we can be. We will continue to work through this process civilly and cooperatively, and plan to continue our professional life together." The real estate agents' statement came almost seven months after an explosive altercation took place in their former Orange County, Calif., home, which resulted in police intervention. With a total of 10 seasons and 155 episodes, Flip or Flop reportedly garnered more than 90 million viewers since its premiere. The series was ultimately canceled in 2022, when the show reportedly became 'too intimate' for Haack and El Moussa, who divorced in 2018. Haack and El Moussa continue to co-parent their two children together, daughter Taylor and son Brayden. 'Flip or Flop Follow-Up' (2015) Airing just six episodes, Flip or Flop Follow-Up saw Haack and El Moussa revisit a series of memorable home flips and share a deeper look into the process of remodeling them. 'Christina on the Coast' (2019-2025) Haack, a real estate and flipping expert in her own right, embarked on a solo journey with Christina on the Coast, which debuted in May 2019. Over six seasons, audiences watched as Haack helped clients transform their once lackluster homes into high-end properties in Southern California. The series also gave audiences a look into Haack's personal life after separating from El Moussa. Viewers watched as she balanced parenthood and her career as well as her day-to-day life with ex-husbands Ant Anstead, with whom she shares son Hudson, and Texas realtor Josh Hall. Haack announced the premiere of Christina on the Coast in a June 2018 Instagram post, writing, 'I'm so excited to announce my new series on HGTV called Christina on the Coast, which will debut in early 2019! I will be helping homeowners redesign their outdated properties into beautiful spaces!' The second half of Season 5 debuted in February of this year and was just canceled, according to multiple news outlets. 'Tarek's Flip Side' (2019) In 2019, El Moussa launched an HGTV exclusive digital series called Tarek's Flip Side, in which he gives viewers a more intimate look at his personal life. 'Flipping 101 with Tarek El Moussa' (2021-present) Premiering in a one-hour format in August 2021, Flipping 101 with Tarek El Moussa follows the real estate mogul as he walks real estate novices through the process of successfully flipping a house. While it hasn't formally been canceled, the show's latest season debuted and concluded in 2023. The show also featured El Moussa's second wife, Heather, a luxury real estate agent whom he married in October 2021. The pair welcomed their first child together, son Tristan, in February 2023. 'Christina: Stronger by Design' (2021) Christina: Stronger by Design ran for a single season in 2021 and documented Haack as she embarked on a new chapter of her life with ex-husband Anstead. The series ran for just four episodes. 'Christina in the Country' (2023-present) Expanding beyond her Southern California lifestyle, Christina in the Country follows Haack as she establishes a home for herself in Tennessee. Watching as she expands her clientele to the South, the series follows Haack as she helps Tennessee residents revitalize their spaces through intentional design. Haack's third ex-husband, Hall, was featured in the series, which concluded its second season in December 2024. 'The Flipping El Moussas' (2023-2025) Starring Heather and Tarek, The Flipping El Moussas chronicles the intertwining of the couple's personal and professional lives as they navigate their marriage and careers in real estate. This was recently canceled, per reports. 'The Flip Off' (2025) The El Moussas teamed up with Haack for The Flip Off, which premiered on HGTV in January. Back together professionally, Christina and Tarek have joined forces once more, this time with Tarek's wife, Heather Rae, as they compete to see who can 'find, buy, renovate and flip a house for the biggest financial gain,' per HGTV. Fans have been quick to praise Christina and Heather's friendship. Heather Rae recently posted a tribute to Haack for her 42nd birthday. 'Happy birthday @christinahaack,' she wrote in an Instagram Story on July 9. 'It's crazy how far we've come & most will never understand how we are friends. I'm grateful for our relationship & our ability to rise above the noise! Cheers to you & can't wait to celebrate you! Xo.' Solve the daily Crossword

Nick Offerman finds meaning in the "Smurfs'" village: "We require diversity to make a strong community"
Actor Nick Offerman brings his signature deadpan delivery to the animated world as Ken, Papa Smurf's brother, in the upcoming "Smurfs" movie hitting theaters Friday. The "Parks and Recreation" star said he developed his distinctive comedic timing from an early age. "When I was a kid in the Catholic church, they had we do the readings of the gospel," Offerman said. "I learned then that if I gave it some gravitas, the congregation would be moved. But if I turned it up just a little bit, my cousins would laugh ... that was where I discovered deadpan." Offerman recorded his voice work separately from co-star John Goodman, who voices Papa Smurf, due to modern animation practices that became more common after COVID-19. "I was shooting a show in Budapest last year, and so I recorded a bunch of my sessions from a studio in Budapest," he said. "John was recording his from London and New Orleans. Eventually, you hear each other when you start to get all the recordings together." The actor found deeper meaning in the film's central message about community and belonging. "The thing I love the most about it is no-name smurf is on this quest to find out what his place is, trying to find himself," Offerman explained. "The message is that everybody, you know, that we require diversity to make a strong community or family or village of smurfs." He said that self-discovery comes through connection with others rather than isolation. "You don't learn what your special talent is looking at your phone, or looking in the mirror," Offerman said. "You learn from your community. They will tell you what they need from you, and that's how you discover what your power is." "Smurfs" is distributed by Paramount Pictures, which is part of CBS' parent company, Paramount Global. "Smurfs" hits theaters on July 18.
