Jenny and Dave Marrs are on track to give fans an all-new season of their renovation show, FIXER TO FABULOUS.
“We are still hard at work on Season 7!” Jenny wrote on Instagram on June 24.
Jenny told fans in February that she was about to start working on the new season. Filming began in early March and will continue for the rest of the year. It takes a while to produce the show. Season 6 filmed from the beginning of April 2024 to February 2025 — that’s ten months, and episodes had already begun to air.
Dave and Jenny only got a two-week break after Season 6 ended before they started Season 7.
“Eight summers have passed since we agreed to a ‘one-time thing’ of renovating a home with cameras tagging along,” she shared on Instagram. “After that pilot episode, we learned our show was picked up for a full season. At the time, the name of the show was ALMOST HOME. Two years later, the first season aired and was newly named, FIXER TO FABULOUS.”
Jenny tells the whole story in her upcoming book, Trust God, Love People, which comes out Oct. 7.

She writes in the book, “When we first said yes to filming a television show about our life and our work, we mistakenly assumed God would use the show to further the nonprofit work or to advocate for adoption. While He has done these things, our thinking was much smaller than what I now believe He had planned.”
Jenny previously shared how they got on HGTV. An HGTV rep noticed their work restoring homes in Arkansas and sent them an email, which Jenny deleted immediately, thinking it was illegitimate. When HGTV asked twice more, they realized it was real but turned them down because they thought it would take time away from their family.
“We were very apprehensive about it, said no at first, just for a lot of reasons,” Jenny recalled on Family Life Radio. “We just prayed about it a lot.”
Eventually, they decided that a show could help them fundraise for adoption and families in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
“We didn’t think we’d be doing it this long,” Dave said. “We feel like it’s a ministry. We feel like when we’re not supposed to do the show anymore, God will say ‘I’m closing this door and opening another one.’”
FIXER TO FABULOUS Season 7 will likely air near the end of this year or the beginning of 2026.
