When Bargain Block was suddenly canceled in 2025, fans were left heartbroken—but no one was more blindsided than the show’s co-host, Keith Bynum. After months of pouring his creativity into reviving Detroit’s neighborhoods, Keith took to social media with a cryptic yet hopeful message. But what he revealed may just expose a deeper trend at play—one that connects the downfall of multiple beloved HGTV shows. And the real culprit? It might not be HGTV at all.
Keith Bynum’s message came just days after the Bargain Block cancellation news went viral. Instead of finger-pointing, he offered clarity. “It’s not all HGTV’s fault,” he wrote. “They’re a network—they air the shows. They’re not always the ones producing them.” This distinction raised eyebrows across the home renovation TV community.
He went on to explain that following the show’s cancellation, other producers reached out to him expressing interest in a potential new project. While he didn’t go into detail, Keith’s tone was cautiously optimistic, suggesting that Bargain Block might not be dead in the water after all—just in transition.
But the bigger shock? Keith dropped the name of the production company behind Bargain Block: High Noon Entertainment. And suddenly, everything started to make sense.
High Noon Entertainment is no stranger to the home renovation scene. In fact, they’ve been behind some of HGTV’s biggest hits over the years. But strangely, nearly all the shows they’ve been producing have been quietly canceled in the last year:
-
Bargain Block
-
Boise Boys
-
Farmhouse Fixer
-
Good Bones
-
Restored by the Fords
All gone. All within months of each other. All produced by the same company.
This disturbing trend has fans asking: What’s going on at High Noon?
Unsellable House might also be Cancelled.
Another HGTV fan-favorite still hanging in the balance is Unsellable Houses, which is also produced by High Noon Entertainment—the same company behind a string of recently canceled shows like Bargain Block, Boise Boys, and Good Bones.
With High Noon quietly pulling the plug on nearly every HGTV series it once produced, the future of Unsellable Houses remains uncertain. While no official announcement has been made, the pattern raises serious concerns that the show could be next on the chopping block, leaving fans bracing for more disappointing news.
Is High Noon Entertainment the Common Thread?
While HGTV takes much of the public heat when a beloved series gets the axe, the network doesn’t always hold the power to keep a show alive. HGTV functions more like a platform.
It licenses content from production companies like High Noon Entertainment. These production companies are responsible for the show’s development, filming, staffing, and budget—HGTV simply chooses whether or not to air the final product.
If multiple High Noon shows are being pulled off-air, the issue might lie deeper than just low ratings. Are there internal business issues? Budget constraints? Creative disagreements? Industry rumors point to High Noon tightening its slate amid shifts in media budgets and changing audience behaviors, especially post-COVID when production costs skyrocketed and ad revenues became unpredictable.
There’s also a broader shift in television programming to consider. Reality and renovation shows once dominated basic cable, but streaming services and social media content are now changing how people consume design inspiration. TikTok stars and YouTube DIYers often pull larger audiences—without the need for high production costs.
This has put pressure on traditional production companies like High Noon to either evolve or shrink. And for some HGTV shows, even solid fan bases aren’t enough to keep them afloat.
What’s Next for Keith Bynum and Bargain Block?
Despite the sudden cancellation of Bargain Block, Keith Bynum’s latest message to fans didn’t carry the tone of a goodbye—it felt more like a strategic shift. In fact, rather than sounding defeated, Keith sounded energized. “I’ve had some very exciting conversations recently,” he teased, fueling a wave of speculation among fans. Many believe that while Bargain Block may not return in its original format, it’s likely to be reborn—possibly on a new network or streaming platform like Netflix, Magnolia Network, or even Max.
Keith has made one thing abundantly clear: he and Evan Thomas are not stepping away from home renovation. If anything, they’re leaning in harder. The duo’s undeniable talent and creative vision haven’t gone unnoticed. Even after the cancellation announcement, producers quickly reached out to explore new opportunities. That alone speaks volumes—not only about Keith and Evan’s craftsmanship but also about their influence in the lifestyle and design space.
While Keith hasn’t confirmed exact details, his recent comments suggest a pivot rather than a pause. He’s currently in active discussions with multiple parties interested in collaborating on a new show or project. Whether it’s a fresh format, a new spin on Bargain Block, or an entirely different concept, one thing is certain: this isn’t the end of the road. It’s the beginning of a new chapter—and from the looks of it, a bigger and possibly even more creative one.
Fans Assure Keith Bynum: “We’ll Follow You Wherever You Go”
Since the announcement, fans have rallied around Keith and Evan with overwhelming support. Across social media, messages of encouragement have poured in—many assuring the couple that network changes won’t matter. “We’ll follow you wherever you go,” one fan commented, echoing a sentiment shared by thousands. Others have promised to subscribe to whatever platform hosts their next project, be it Netflix, Hulu, Magnolia, or something entirely new.
This unwavering fan base is part of what makes Keith and Evan such valuable personalities in the renovation TV world. Unlike many other stars whose following is tied to a specific show or network, Keith and Evan have cultivated a personal connection with viewers. Their transparency, warmth, and authenticity have created a loyal community that’s willing to move with them—regardless of where they land.
Is HGTV in Trouble—or Just Evolving?
As more viewers question HGTV’s programming decisions, it’s clear the network is going through a rebranding moment. The recent cancellation of multiple High Noon shows could mean that HGTV is intentionally distancing itself from one of its oldest content partners. Whether that’s to make room for newer, cheaper, or more influencer-led content is still unknown.
But what is clear is this: Keith Bynum isn’t giving up. And if his past work is any indication, he might just return stronger—with or without HGTV.
So, was Bargain Block’s end the fault of HGTV? Maybe not. The real story seems to lie behind the scenes—within the production world most viewers never see.
And now that the curtain’s been pulled back, fans are watching even more closely than before.
