Every episode will function “unfiltered views” from Retta about every of the houses’ “scary look, un-livability and fright issue.” Whichever home is deemed the “scariest” within the one-house season finale will obtain $150,000 renovation by HGTV’s Alison Victoria.

“What can I say? We’re again searching down scary homes,” Retta quipped in a press release. “One other season of uneasy sleep for yours really. I hope you all take pleasure in!”
The Season 2 premiere will function “eerie houses within the East, from a centuries-old, ghost-filled Maryland property, to a historic haunted home in Connecticut with a creepy attic and an 1800s Georgia jail providing unexplained sights and sounds,” in keeping with HGTV.
Scariest Home in America debuted in October 2024 and garnered over 8.3 million viewers in its debut season. The sequence is a derivative of Ugliest Home in America, which Retta has hosted since its premiere in 2022.

However the subsequent web page goes to be fairly enjoyable.”
