Holmes and Holmes

Holmes and Holmes (stylized as Holmes+Holmes) is a Canadian television reality show, which premiered on HGTV Canada in 2016.[1] The show features contractor Mike Holmes and his son Mike Holmes Jr. renovating homes.[2]

History

The first season of the show concentrated entirely on the duo renovating Mike Jr.'s own home in preparation for his wedding to his longtime girlfriend Lisa.[3] The second season, which premiered in 2018, saw them purchasing and working on flipping projects.[4]

Shelagh Cooke received a Canadian Screen Award nomination for Best Direction in a Lifestyle or Information Series at the 7th Canadian Screen Awards in 2019, for the episode "Water: The Good, the Bad and the Money".[5]

The series was picked up for a third season on the DIY Network. The 12-episode season was scheduled to premiere mid-2019 but launch date was later pushed to October 2, 2019.[6]

The "Lake House" in season two is located 49 River Road, Lansdowne. [7]

The third season includes Mike's daughter Sherry who joins the team on a full-time basis until she announces she is expecting her first child with partner, (and now husband) contractor and crew member, Blake Steed. The season follows five story lines[8]: “The City Barn,”; “The Flood House,” The Toxic Townhouse,” The Half Done House, and The Twice Done House. These five storylines are intertwined and revealed over the course of series as the Holmes’ continue the motto of “making it right” for five deserving families, turning their houses into homes again.
