HGTV has ordered a second season of its hit series Celebrity IOU, for premiere in early 2021.

The series has attracted more than 18.9 million total viewers since its premiere just three weeks ago, and is the No. 2 new unscripted original series in all of cable among P25-54 and W25-54 so far this year, according to Nielsen.

In season 2, additional Hollywood A-listers will express gratitude to individuals who had a major impact on their lives—surprising them with big, heartwarming home renovations.

We have to make more.”
