"At its heart, Cousins Undercover is about the power of community," said Steven Lerner, senior vice president, programming and production, HGTV and DIY Network. "Viewers were definitely inspired by the stories we shared and we believe that many of them were amazed by how much a renovation can impact lives. It certainly doesn't hurt that Anthony and John have universal appeal and enthusiastic personalities that ignite action, but what makes this series work is the people in the communities and their selfless desire to give someone else the home of their dreams."
