Stars of four fan-favorite HGTV series revealed this week that the network has decided to end their shows, much to their surprise and to their fans’ dismay. 

According to People, , , and have allegedly been axed by the network– news that has longtime HGTV fans flooding the network’s social media pages in a renovation-filled rage. 

“Why are you canceling every good show?!” one fan commented on the HGTV Instagram page Thursday, with another adding, “Hold on! No more Jonathan, Keith and Evan AND Egypt and Mike? You’re getting rid of all them, but making more shows and keep ‘designers’ who use disco balls and scalloped quartz counters? C’mon HGTV! What’s going on here?!”

Shots fired, Chelsea.

While HGTV has yet to confirm the cancellation of these four series, some of the shows’ stars have already taken it upon themselves to break the news to their fans, including of ‘Farmhouse Fixer.’ 

“ … I am said to say HGTV has decided not to move forward with another season,” Jonathan shared Wednesday on social media. “While I’m still processing the reasons that led to their decision, [] and I are so grateful for all your support over the past 3 seasons … .” 

While Jonathan said he was unaware of the reason that his show was cancelled, he assured fans that the four HGTV series were not axed because they promoted diversity, as some fans had suggested in the comments. 

“ … this isn’t about diversity it’s about money and the changes happening in the television industry,” Jonathan wrote, later telling another fan, “Oh I know why [it was cancelled]…. And trust me it’s not about diversity! HGTV is the most incredible diverse company.” 

After revealing on Wednesday that the cancellation of ‘Married to Real Estate’ had been “unexpected news” to both her and her husband/co-host , told fans that there was “more to say and we’ll share soon.” 

In the comment section of her post, Egypt noted that, “you can’t maintain ratings if your viewers can’t find you,” seemingly hinting at the reason ‘Married to Real Estate’ (and the other HGTV series) had been cut from the network. 

“Show kept getting moved and not promoted,” she added. 

Like Egypt, – who stars on ‘Bargain Block’ with his partner, Evan Thomas– assured fans that he would share more details about what happened at a later date; however, Keith was far more open about his criticism of HGTV in his announcement to fans than his fellow hosts.

“ … Our entire business and lives have been put through the wringer at the hands of a giant corporation, yet we persist lol,” Keith wrote on Instagram. “Though you may not be seeing us for much longer on HGTV, we’re excited that we’ve built such an amazing base of followers and we’re very excited about the future. 

“Everyone always told us TV is a fickle world and they are very right,” he continued. “TV is full of a lot of great people but it’s also full of some of the worst people I’ve ever encountered … .” 

“I know they probably made y’all sign an NDA contract, but I would love more tea! Call them out,” one fan commented on Keith’s post, to which he responded, “I will one day.” 

Meanwhile, Izzy Battres of ‘Izzy Does It’ revealed the fate of his HGTV series in a response to a fan on social media who asked about the premiere date for Season 2 of his show.

“Unfortunately no Season 2,” he replied, according to People
