Your favorite brothers are back and better than ever with six brand-new episodes of the smash-hit series, Celebrity IOU!

Drew and Jonathan are returning to your screens with some serious A-list celebs this summer, and you won’t want to miss a minute. If you’re new to the CIOU scene, it goes a little something like this: Drew and Jonathan work with big names like Halle Berry, Drew Barrymore, Wilmer Valderrama, Kris Jenner, and more to renovate homes for the celebs’ loved ones. You’ll watch them swing sledgehammers, rethink floorplans, hone in on design, and ultimately gift a once-in-a-lifetime renovation to folks who deserve to be celebrated. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry… It’s all part of what makes this show so meaningful and fun!

“Every episode of Celebrity IOU is a tear-jerker,” Jonathan says. “For me and Drew, it’s such a positive, heartwarming experience to give back to people who are so deserving and to know that these renovations really do change lives.”

Excited yet? You’re about to be even more thrilled: We have all the details on the six coming episodes of Celebrity IOU.

When does Celebrity IOU come back?

Celebrity IOU will return on Wednesday, July 9 at 8:00 pm ET/PT on HGTV and streaming on MAX, and you’ll want to tune in for this one. The first episode will star The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel‘s Rachel Brosnahan (who’s also playing Lois Lane in the new Superman). She works with Drew and Jonathan to gift a beautiful new kitchen and dining room to her best friend’s parents, Ron and Robin, who have been like second parents to her since she was in college. Together, the trio will tackle a small 1970s kitchen and turn it into a more welcoming, modern space where Robin and Ron can cook and entertain all of their loved ones.
