‘House Shock’ Reality Series Stars Arielle Vandenberg and Steve Lewis – Trailer and Release Date
In the HGTV series ‘House Shock,’ Arielle Vandenberg and Steve Lewis ambush unsuspecting homeowners with surprise makeovers of rooms they’ve neglected, abandoned or just plain hate — alongside a crew of sneaky loved ones and a resourceful renovation team. With stealthy planning, hidden contractors and dramatic reveals, every episode delivers heart, humor and the occasional shock because not every surprise is exactly what they wished for.
In each one-hour episode, Arielle will request design inspiration from the nominating family member and track down the perfect pieces on the fly, while Steve and his resourceful construction team will ensure the edge-of-your-seat renovation stays on track and on time. With only days to complete the remodel, the duo will recruit neighbors, friends and coworkers for elaborate cover stories and clever distractions to keep the homeowner in the dark. At the dramatic reveal, the recipient will find out what was happening right under their nose and get the ultimate house shock from the stunning transformation.
Throughout the season, Arielle and Steve will go undercover to reno everything from home offices and primary bedrooms to kitchens, living rooms and three-season spaces. As the time ticks down to the final reveal, they’ll dodge security cameras and navigate unforeseen challenges, including inclement weather, delivery delays and hidden issues behind the walls.
‘House Shock’ stars Arielle Vandenberg (as Host and Designer) and Steve Lewis (as Contractor). House Shock is produced by Nobody’s Hero and ITV America.
