Why Jonathan Knight Calls the 'Farmhouse Fixer' Spinoff a "Huge Risk"

Good news, HGTV fans: A Farmhouse Fixer spinoff is in the works, and it will be airing before you know it!
Old farmhouse fan (and New Kids on the Block frontman) Jonathan Knight is currently starring in season 3 of his popular Farmhouse Fixer series on HGTV. Once the popular show wraps up, viewers are in for a treat with Farmhouse Fixer: Camp Revamp.
The all-new series chronicles Jonathan's progress as he buys a 12-acre lakefront campground and transforms it to a vacation destination. The seemingly idyllic project comes with its share of challenges, from foundation issues and unwanted critters to a tight six-month timeline and budget concerns.
"I've always wanted to have a small resort or a boutique hotel, and my business partner sent me a link to a 12-acre, 10-cabin property in New Hampshire," Jonathan told Country Living. He went to see the property and "fell in love" and agreed to think about it. He was reluctant to take it on due to the timing (in addition to filming Farmhouse Fixer, touring with New Kids on the Block keeps him very busy!), but there were several offers from other buyers, so he "jumped in, full steam ahead."
"I’m taking a huge risk to pursue a dream I’ve been chasing," Jon says. "These types of properties are rare. And this is the one. It’s now or never and it’s all on me. My money, my designs, my problems. But the reward… that’s all mine, too."
Jon brings his family, including husband Harley, brother/NKOTB bandmate Jordan, parents, and sisters, along on the adventure. He told Country Living, "It's been a stressful, stressful year of trying to get that done. But it's amazing, and I can't wait for people to see the final product."
Mark your calendars: The four-episode Farmhouse Fixer: Camp Revamp series premiers on HGTV and Max on June 16 at 9 p.m. EST/8 p.m. CST.
