Jonathan Knight told Country Living that he's taking a step back from HGTV and his series, Farmhouse Fixer. He later shared on social media that the home renovation series has been cancelled by the network.
Jon wrote a heartfelt message for his fans on Instagram. He said, "Having the best time doing my residency in Vegas with NKOTB. A lot of you have been asking about the future of Farmhouse Fixer. I am sad to say HGTV has decided not to move forward with another season. While I’m still processing the reasons that led to their decision, Kristina and I are so grateful for all your support over the past 3 seasons. Television has been so incredibly fun for us. We are so proud of what we created together and look forward to sharing what’s next for us."
His post was bombarded with messages of support and disappointment from fans, who were "devastated" by the news. His fellow HGTV stars spoke out too. Scott McGillivray wrote, "You will be missed my friend! 😢" and Brian Kleinschmidt said, "You both will be missed big time! I will always cherish the memories we shared together at Barbie and Hotel Challenge."
Jon's New Kids on the Block bandmate and longtime friend Donnie Wahlberg showed his support with an encouraging message: "On to the next one! You got this. We are all ready for what you do next! ❤️"
As for what's next, Jon told Country Living that he's busy with his Las Vegas residency for now. He's planning on starting a charitable food project at his farm, and he'd love to return to HGTV at some point in the future with a gardening show. We're eager to see what's next!
