What’s Next for Hilary Farr After Her Surprising Departure from HGTV?

It came as a surprise to many when Hilary Farr announced her departure from “Love It or List It,” a show she had been part of for nearly twenty years. Known for her lively exchanges with real estate expert David Visentin, Farr revealed her exit in December 2023, making it clear that while she is leaving the show, she will still remain active in the media. She is already pursuing new projects.

In her candid style, she explained that the decision was prompted by the show’s repetitiveness. “It was becoming boring, and I don’t want to feel that way,” she told Vulture. “It just seemed like too much work. The last season felt stale, and it has become formulaic.” Although she has decided to move on, she expressed gratitude for the years spent on the show, stating how meaningful it has been for her and the audience. “It’s been a significant part of my life,” she shared with People. “Now, I am ready for new challenges.” But fans need not worry; this beloved figure will certainly remain in the public eye!

Despite her exit from “Love It or List It,” Farr made it clear that she isn’t retiring from TV. “It’s not a retirement; it’s just a departure from a deeply involved show,” she explained during her interview with Vulture. Even though filming the series was intense and demanding, she is excited about the new opportunities that lie ahead. “I want to continue with ‘Tough Love,’ and I have other projects in the works that I’m eager to share,” she noted.

Regarding “Tough Love with Hilary Farr,” she plans to remain the tough mentor helping families transform their homes and lives. With two seasons already completed, Farr shows no signs of slowing down. Other projects are also on the horizon, although she remains tight-lipped about the details, likely intending to maintain the energetic vibe her fans appreciate. Importantly, she has no hard feelings towards “Love It or List It” and wishes the best for the show’s future, saying, “I wish them every success and would be inclined to watch it myself.”
