Jonathan and Drew Scott are back with the new “docu-style” HGTV show: PROPERTY BROTHERS: UNDER PRESSURE.
The series that premiered March 15 “features a raw, behind-the-scenes ‘docu-style’ approach highlighting real emotions and challenges in today’s housing market,” per PEOPLE.
“Whether it’s the first couple that lost their home in the LA Fires or generational families that are moving in together so they can afford to get a house — everybody’s got a different story,” Jonathan said, who brings his construction expertise as a contractor to the show, while Drew brings his real-estate acumen.

He went on to say, “You’ll see there’s also this real docu-style, kind of behind-the-scenes…We don’t turn the camera off, so you get to see a lot of the stuff that normally would happen after we stopped rolling.”
“Every scenario you can think of,” Drew added. “And the emotions are there. The frustrations — even Jonathan and me arguing. So you get a lot of everything.”
In the premiere episode, the twin brothers help AJ and Carin find and renovate their new home after losing their former house to the Eaton, California, fires early last year.
Jonathan has a personal connection to the LA wildfires, as the fires hit right across the street from his and fiancée Zooey Deschanel’s home, forcing them to evacuate, Drew revealed.
Deschanel’s family lost their home in the fires last year, too. Jonathan recently started the process of rebuilding her parent’s home.
“At one point, I took them [AJ and Carin] to the project I’m rebuilding — Zooey’s family home that burned — and I think knowing that we’re going through the same thing at the same time was good for them,” Jonathan said.
Drew said that their years of experience, over 650 renovations and therapy (as Jonathan blithely shared) prepared them for the technical and emotional challenges that each project brings.
“We’ve seen a lot,” Drew told The Daily Goods. “We’ve seen trees fall on houses that have flattened their children’s bedroom. Luckily, no one was in it. We’ve seen most everything. Every story is unique.”
“If we had a room of 100 families that had just purchased or renovated a home and we said, how many of you felt that you are so under pressure that you want to quit the whole process,” Jonathan told US Weekly. “I guarantee you, every hand would go up right now, because that’s just the state that we’re in right now, the cost of renovations, the chaos. So this is a show that shows the good, the bad and the ugly.”
Watch Drew and Jonathan bring order out of chaos for home buyers in PROPERTY BROTHERS: UNDER PRESSURE Sundays at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
