Hearst Media Production Group (HMPG) has renewed its home renovation series “Home for Good” for a second season, with new episodes scheduled to premiere Saturday, January 9, 2027, on ABC television stations nationwide.

The half-hour series will continue airing as part of the “Weekend Adventure” educational and informational (E/I) programming block, with Art Edmonds returning as host. The second season of “Home for Good” will begin airing January 9 as part of ABC’s weekend educational programming lineup.

Produced in partnership with Epic Entertainment and Media Group and sponsored by home safety company Kidde, “Home for Good” recognizes individuals who contribute to their communities by renovating rooms and personal spaces in their homes. The renewal follows the program’s inaugural season, which combined home improvement projects with educational segments focused on fire prevention, carbon monoxide awareness and other household safety concerns.

The second season will expand the show’s focus beyond first responders to include educators, mentors, volunteers and other community service workers. Among those featured in the upcoming episodes are a firefighter who supports families of children with autism, a teacher whose students provide comfort to young cancer patients and a volunteer who distributes food and supplies to people experiencing homelessness. Another episode will recognize a mentor who established a free life-skills program for local young people.

Each installment will continue featuring a renovation project intended to improve a space used by an individual whose work benefits others. The educational segments will address fire hazards, carbon monoxide risks and other potential dangers, providing viewers with practical information about protecting their homes and families.

“For more than 100 years, Kidde has helped families protect what matters most,” Isis Wu, the President of Kidde‘s Global Residential Fire & Safety business, said in a statement. “Through ‘Home for Good,’ we’re able to celebrate people who strengthen their communities while helping families better understand the fire, carbon monoxide and other safety risks they may face at home.”

Bryan Curb, the President of HMPG, said the program reflects the company’s approach to developing educational television programming for broadcast audiences.

“The series shows what giving back looks like through the people who serve their communities, while giving viewers practical fire and CO safety information they can use at home,” Curb said in a statement. “That combination reflects the value of E/I programming: stories that educate, inform and offer a meaningful benefit to audiences.”

HMPG currently produces more than 30 original series and hundreds of hours of programming annually. The company’s programming library includes approximately 6,000 episodes across 85 series, with content distributed in 100 countries.
