- "That Thrifting Show with Lara Spencer" has been renewed for Season 2 on Hulu and Freeform, targeting a 2027 return roughly a year after its March 2025 debut.
- The competition format pits two designer duos against each other to redesign identical rooms with a 48-hour clock and a budget of around $2,000 sourced from vintage and thrift stores.
- Judges Robert Hartwell, Preston Konrad, and Dani Klarić evaluate the designs, while Spencer serves as both host and executive producer.
- Production is split between ABC News Studios, Butternut (a Wheelhouse Entertainment division), and Envisionary Productions, with Courtney White, Cheryl Wayne, Jon Rosen, David Sloan, and Melia Patria also serving as executive producers.
- Spencer's vintage-design credentials extend beyond the new show: she previously hosted two seasons of PBS's "Antiques Roadshow," one season of "Antiques Roadshow FYI," and HGTV's "Flea Market Flip," and remains a six-time Emmy-winning "Good Morning America" anchor.
Why it matters: The renewal gives Hulu and Freeform — both under Disney — a second cycle of a low-cost, sustainability-themed unscripted format tied to a recognizable GMA personality, with production costs contained by the show's $2,000-per-team thrift-store premise.
