‘Bachelor Pad’ (2010–2012)

‘Bachelor Pad’ premieres Wednesday, October 29th, bringing together past contestants from ‘The Bachelor’ and ‘The Bachelorette’ for a competition where they’ll face challenges and strategically eliminate each other for a chance to win a cash prize. Hosted by Chris Harrison, the show combines the gameplay of alliances with the drama of dating. Created by Mike Fleiss and produced by Next Entertainment and Warner Horizon Television, ‘Bachelor Pad’ features a changing cast of familiar faces. Viewers can expect team-based challenges, surprising twists on the traditional rose ceremony, and a final showdown where trust and strategy will be put to the test.
‘Swamp Mysteries with Troy Landry’ (2018)

Okay, so I’m really excited about this new show, ‘Swamp Mysteries with Troy Landry,’ dropping on October 30th. You all know Troy from ‘Swamp People,’ right? Well, he’s stepping outside Louisiana and traveling around helping other communities deal with seriously dangerous animals – think gators, pythons, the whole nine yards. He’s working with local experts – other outdoorsy types and wildlife officials – to track these creatures and safely get rid of them. It’s not just about the hunts though; the show dives into the planning, the local stories about these swamps and waterways, and how they’re actually working to protect the environment. It sounds like a really cool mix of adventure and conservation, and honestly, I’m here for it!
‘Tiny House Nation: Memory Lane’ (2025)

Starting October 30th, ‘Tiny House Nation: Memory Lane’ revisits some of the most memorable tiny homes and the families who built them. The show looks back at what made these builds successful, how designs have improved, and what challenges homeowners faced. Hosts John Weisbarth and Zack Giffin re-examine innovative space-saving ideas, smart storage solutions, and ways to live off the grid, while also catching up with the people who live in these tiny homes. The series combines original renovation footage with new interviews and insights from experts on building materials and techniques, offering a complete look at the tiny-home process – from the initial idea to everyday life – and sharing valuable lessons for anyone considering building their own.
’48 Hours to Buy’ (2024)

I’m really excited about this new show, ’48 Hours to Buy,’ that’s coming out! It’s a real estate show, but with a super fast pace. Basically, buyers only have two days to find a house, get it inspected, and make an offer! It’s going to be interesting to watch how the agents, lenders, and inspectors work under that kind of pressure. I think it’ll be cool to see how people have to compromise on things like their budget or what they want in a house when they’re on such a tight deadline. They’ll show you everything – what’s happening in the market, how they get the houses ready to show, and how people try to get the best deal. It sounds like a really intense look at how quickly things can move when you’re buying a home!
‘Cold Case Files: Dead West’ (2025)

Premiering Thursday, October 30th, ‘Cold Case Files: Dead West’ delves into unsolved crimes from the American West. Each episode combines interviews with those involved – detectives, prosecutors, and family members – with historical footage, crime scene recreations, and the latest forensic science. The series highlights how breakthroughs in DNA analysis, digital records, and re-investigation of evidence can help solve cases that have remained open for decades, tracing the path from the original investigation to the discovery of new, crucial evidence.
‘Million Dollar Zombie Flips’ (2025)

Premiering Thursday, October 30th, ‘Million Dollar Zombie Flips’ features investment teams renovating high-end homes that have been abandoned or left unfinished. Led by expert James Dainard, these crews fix structural problems, ensure the properties meet building codes, and completely redesign them. The show follows the entire process – from managing budgets and securing permits to making key design choices like adding custom features and smart home technology. Each episode reveals how these teams transform costly, risky projects into attractive, marketable homes.
‘Swamp People’ (2010– )

Premiering on Thursday, October 30th, ‘Swamp People’ follows families in Louisiana who hunt alligators. The show captures their work during gator season, as they use a system of seasonal tags. Viewers will see well-known hunters like Troy and Jacob Landry as they navigate the bayous, rivers, and marshes of Louisiana. The series focuses on the local customs, the boats they build, their hunting strategies, and how much money they make from each catch. Each episode showcases the careful planning, the importance of checking the weather, and the teamwork needed to safely reach their hunting goals.
‘Return to Amish’ (2014– )

The next season of ‘Return to Amish’ premieres on Saturday, November 1st, following individuals who have chosen to leave their Amish and Mennonite communities and navigate life in the outside world. Over the years, the show has featured people like Jeremiah Raber and Sabrina Burkholder, documenting their major life events, from family celebrations and legal struggles to starting businesses.
