From Instagram to HGTV, “Zillow Gone Wild” Gets A Show
Sometimes you just want to break up your Instagram newsfeed from time to time by following pages with want-to-be influencers like @InfluencersInTheWild or extraordinarily unique homes like @ZillowGoneWild. In celebration of America’s “weirdest and wackiest” homes for sale. HGTV is dropping its newest real estate show Zillow Gone Wild. That’s right, from Instagram to TV.
The show inspired by the Instagram account will be hosted by actor and comedian Jack McBrayer, according to HGTV. The series is set to premiere on HGTV on Friday, May 3, at 10:30|9:30 central.
What to expect from the “Zillow Gone Wild” series?
Throughout the season, Zillow Gone Wild will feature the people who have embraced non-traditional homes with their unique style choices and “imaginative” architecture. It will also reveal the “inventive ways to market a unique property.” The series will explore each home’s unique history and the backstories of the buyers and sellers in nine weekly episodes. Each home will be ranked on factors such as creativity, commitment to the theme, and unique qualities. During the season finale, HGTV will proclaim one the “wildest” of them all.
“Everyone loves to scroll endlessly, looking at all the pretty houses for sale online,” said McBrayer. “But I’m on a mission to find out the story behind America’s strangest and most extraordinary homes. I want to meet the owners and, most importantly, see for myself what’s inside,” he said to HGTV.
Fans have a chance to get involved.
People can enter for a chance to win $25,000 by correctly guessing which home will be crowned the “Wildest House” from the series. Fans can see the eight finalists on the episode of Zillow Gone Wild airing on June 21.
After the news was shared, people went straight to the comments of the post to share their excitement. “I can’t wait!!!! Please let there be potato sheds!!!”” someone said. “They’ve been trying to get me to watch HGTV for years and they got me gal,” another person wrote.
Some fans have already highlighted the Instagram account on Reddit. They have shared some of their favorite homes featured on the page or the most outrageous ones on the market. Someone shared a home on the thread that has 3 beds, and 1.5 baths, with the price tag of $422,094 at 1,120 square feet. What’s the catch? The description reads, “Do not trespass or ask to see the interior of this property. It is being sold as-is with occupants in the home.” The person who shared it referred to it as a “gem.”
As long as there is Zillow, there will be plenty of content to work with.
