Erin and Ben Napier Announce HOME TOWN TAKEOVER Season 3 Location
By Movieguide® Contributor
HGTV’s Erin and Ben Napier are heading to Florida for Season 3 of HOME TOWN TAKEOVER.
“It’s a new location and you’ve probably never heard of it because it’s not tourist Florida, which is our favorite Florida,” Ben said of their shooting location, a town called Sebring.
Erin added, “It’s off the beaten path. It’s not the beach. It’s not the amusement parks.”
Ben called Sebring “a really interesting town” and said the couple is “cautiously optimistic” about what they can achieve in the next season of HOME TOWN TAKEOVER.
“This show is really hard to make and we have…a lot of special guests coming and a lot of people coming in to help, but there’s going to be a lot of work that’s going to go into it,” he continued.
The couple also teased some guest stars, with Erin saying, “The real HOME TOWN fans are going to be very excited to see someone who is a part of TAKEOVER Season 3.”
HOME TOWN TAKEOVER sees the Napiers visiting small towns, reviving them, renovating local businesses and fostering a sense of community.
“Renovating one house at a time is an awesome experience. But the chance to support an entire town, where we help bring a community back to life — that’s something we’ve always wanted to try,” Ben said of the show’s goal.
Last season, the Napiers headed to Fort Morgan, Colorado, along with fellow HGTV stars Dave and Jenny Marrs.
“The town has a really fascinating history, a really diverse cultural background,” Ben told PEOPLE at the time. “And just like any small town across America, it has these really inherent charms about it. So we want to go and help them tell that story.”

HGTV is checking back in with those who were helped by Ben and Erin Napier’s and Dave and Jenny Marrs’ HOME TOWN TAKEOVER in a new special.
HOME TOWN TAKEOVER: WHERE ARE THEY NOW? will spotlight Wetumpka, Alabama and Fort Morgan, Colorado — both towns that were previously featured in the HGTV reality show.
“The small town renewal movement is working! The Napiers took on the revival of Wetumpka, AL, and the Marrs jumped on board to help take on yet another community, Fort Morgan, CO. Now, they’re checking on the continued growth in these two amazing towns,” a synopsis of the special reads.
Wetumpka Area Chamber of Commerce executive director Shellie Whitfield revealed HOME TOWN TAKEOVER: WHERE ARE THEY NOW? will feature local spots like The Kelly restaurant, a Wetumpka High School football game and Restoration Coffeehouse.
“It is something people are not going to want to miss,” Whitfield told The Wetumpka Herald. “They should invite their friends and family to watch it. Wetumpka will once again shine on national television.”
