The Truth About HGTV's Renovation Island

Debuting in June 2020, HGTV's Renovation Island follows the adventures of contractor Bryan Baeumler and his wife, designer Sarah, as they and their children move to the Bahamas to undertake an ambitious renovation of an entire vacation resort. This is the untold truth about the amazing series. While Sarah and Bryan Baeumler may be unfamiliar to American HGTV viewers, their series Renovation Island has already enjoyed a successful run with viewers on HGTV Canada, where the series was titled Island of Bryan. The show proved to be a massive hit for the Canadian iteration of HGTV. According to an HGTV Canada press release, the series' first four installments were the most-watched individual episodes of any program on the network in more than 10 years. In those debut episodes, the Baeumlers say goodbye to their home in Canada and start their new life in the Bahamas' South Andros Island, which is home to just about 2,000 people. In addition to stunning natural beauty, tropical sunshine, and white-sand beaches, the family also experiences the unforeseen challenges of undertaking such an ambitious reno in a remote location, forced to overcome the type of obstacles they'd never encountered in their native Canada.
