For years, Good Bones captivated HGTV viewers with the heartwarming and sometimes chaotic home renovation journeys of mother-daughter duo Karen E. Laine and Mina Starsiak Hawk. From 2016 to 2023, fans watched them breathe new life into dilapidated homes in Indianapolis, turning rundown properties into stunning gems. But just when we thought we had seen the last of them with the end of Good Bones and the closing of their business, Two Chicks and a Hammer, Karen and Mina are back with a brand new show: Good Bones: New Beginnings.

So, what makes Good Bones: New Beginnings different from the original show? Let’s dive into the changes that fans can expect in this exciting limited series.
A Limited Run with a Fresh Format
Unlike the original Good Bones, which ran for a robust eight seasons, Good Bones: New Beginnings is a limited series. It’s set to air for just three weeks, offering a short but sweet dose of Karen and Mina’s renovation magic. The premiere episode, which aired on August 14, 2024, also introduced a new format, running for 90 minutes instead of the typical 60-minute episodes we’re used to. However, the remaining two episodes will return to the one-hour format.
New Locations, New Challenges
One of the most significant differences in Good Bones: New Beginnings is the change of scenery. While Good Bones focused exclusively on transforming homes in their hometown of Indianapolis, this new series sees Karen and Mina spreading their wings and taking on projects outside the city.
Mina heads north of Indianapolis to purchase and renovate a dated lake house, which she plans to transform into the ultimate dream getaway. She’s tackling this ambitious project with the help of her husband, Steve Hawk, and their two kids, Jack and Charlotte. Along the way, viewers will see Mina face some tough decisions, not just about the renovation but also about what lies ahead for her and her family.

Meanwhile, Karen embarks on her own adventure in Wilmington, North Carolina. She’s set her sights on a 120-year-old bungalow that’s in dire need of a makeover. Transforming it into a beachy haven is no small task, especially with the unpredictable coastal weather threatening to derail her plans. Karen’s episodes, airing later in the series, promise to deliver all the drama and triumphs fans love.
