"HGTV fans are insatiable when it comes to competition series, and Battle on the Beach delivers the high-stakes renovation challenge paired with a beautiful backdrop that they crave," said Loren Ruch, Head of Content, HGTV. "The good-natured rivalry between network stars Ty, Alison and Taniya accented by the tough-love critiques from the Baeumlers makes for a can't miss combination that keeps millions of viewers returning each summer."

This season of Battle on the Beach also attracted an enthusiastic audience on HGTV's social and digital platforms, delivering more than two million video views across the net's Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube accounts and over one million page views on HGTV.com.

The suspenseful competition series spotlighted three skilled teams of home renovators coached by celebrated mentors and design experts Taniya Nayak (Build it Forward), Ty Pennington (Rock the Block) and Alison Victoria (Windy City Rehab). With help from their mentors, the teams worked to complete weekly renovation challenges in three nearly identical two bedroom and two bathroom seaside homes - each within a tight $90,000 renovation budget. Judged by Bryan and Sarah Baeumler (Renovation Island), the team who added the most value to their home clinched the $50,000 cash prize.

Battle on the Beach is produced by Departure Films.
