lier this year has led to another newTV project:“Ty Breaker,” coming to HGTV in early 2021. “Ty Breaker” is an eight- episode series that will show Pennington doingwhat he does best: helping homeowners. But the series title isn’t just a play on the host’s name, there’s a bit of a competition element to all of this. In each episode, a family will have to decide whether they should overhaul their current property or renovate a new one to better meet their needs. On one side, you have interior designersAlisonVictoria of “Windy City Rehab” and “Kitchen Crashers” fame, Grace Mitchell from“One of a Kind” and Sabrina Soto from“The High Low Project.”The trio will come up with killer designs to entice the families to choose a different home, while Pen- nington (on the other side) will offer up his renovation ideas in an effort to convince them to stay put.Although it’s easy to dismiss all this talk of competi- tion because the family wins either way, whether they move or stay put, they’ll end up with a newly designed space that bet- ter meets their needs. HBO’s ‘Thirst’: If you’ve ever watched “Empire” and thought to yourself “this series is great but it could really use more vampires,”well, surprisingly, you’re about to get your wish. Granted, that scenario is a bit of a stretch. But at HBO, two former “Empire”writers— husband-and-wife duo Leah Benavides Rodriguez and Car- lito Rodriguez—are develop- ing a new hip-hop drama with a supernatural twist. “Thirst” is based on an origi- nal concept by former VH1 cre- ative director Kevin Jordan, who landed his own first-look deal with MACROTelevision Studios earlier this year (MACRO is the studio behind “Thirst”). It’s the story of anAtlanta rapper who thinks he’s on the fast track to stardom after linking with The Lost Boys, one of hip hop’s biggest acts. So what’s the problem?You guessed it:The Lost Boys are secretly vampires and they’ve been around for centuries.
became known as “The Gentle- man Pirate.” Mining Bonnet’s story for humor shouldn’t be hard— even Smithsonian Magazine described his sudden career change as “the worst midlife crisis on record.” Bonnet had no prior seafaring experience, and the fact that he purchased his pirate ship instead of seizing it didn’t exactly earn him the re- spect of his crew, who were also

recognizable villains (“Jojo Rabbit,” 2019). So, what will New Zealand writer-director- producer TaikaWaititi target next? Pirates! HBOMax recently handed a straight-to-series order to “Our Flag Means Death,” and the move isn’t surprising given Waititi’s attachment to the proj- ect as an executive producer. He’ll also direct its pilot episode, as he did with FX’s “WhatWe Do in the Shadows”when the TV adaptation premiered last year. The period comedy hails from writer/showrunner David Jen- kins, who previously created the TBS comedy,“People of Earth.” It is said to be loosely based on the real-life (mis)adventures of Stede Bonnet (1688-1718), a wealthy landowner who aban- doned his life of privilege and
paid a steady wage instead of their usual share of the plunder. Ty’s back: Reality TV fans knowTy Pennington as the charismatic carpenter on TLC’s “Trading Spaces” and as the energetic host of ABC’s “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” from 2003 to 2012. But apart from a few projects— like the short-livedABC series “The Revolution” and some hosting gigs onTNT and Food Network—Pennington has kept a relatively low profile in the last few years. Family time and volunteer work have kept him busy, but when he popped up onTLC’s revival of “Trading Spaces,” it was clear that fans were happy to see him again. And it appears his guest ap- pearance on HGTV’s “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” ear-
