See the trials, mishaps, and fun, as Renovation Hunters comes to small towns to preserve family camps so everyone can enjoy the great outdoors again.

“Each episode is an amazing transformation of truly compelling stories of each family’s trials and tribulations. Over those eight days of renovations, you see where the Renovation Hunters crew makes dreams into a gifted reality,” shared host Hal Shaffer.

In a time where positive and uplifting shows are needed more than ever, each episode makes an impact not only on the family’s homes renovated, but also the Renovation Hunters crew themselves. “The reactions of some of these reveals have been so impactful to us,” continued Shaffer. One that stands out is the final episode in Linesville, Penn. where the reaction from the family trump’s all others…we all slept better knowing just what that renovation meant to them.”

The talented crew of Renovation Hunters is made of home improvement specialists from all over the United States who love both their craft and the outdoors. The selection process is based on compelling video submissions. They go to work putting together a design that caters to the way the owners use the property, a truly custom design experience. This design is kept a secret from the owners until the camp is unveiled at the completion of the project. Renovations of this caliber, and under this kind of time restraint, require a team of specialized craftsmen.

“This season was the most physically grueling by far and I could not be more proud of our cast on how they performed to make these total renovations in eight days. It’s hard to get a deck built in that amount of time!” exclaimed Shaffer. “Sixteen to 18 hour days were not uncommon. It’s an unmatched team of people building from their hearts to give to others and I love and appreciate them all!”

What is scientific fact – and what is Hollywood fantasy? Terry Schappert utilizes the expertise of Hollywood’s premier prop house and weapons builder with the help of Larry Zanoff, and breaks down some of the most explosive action in Hollywood history.

“My favorite episode from this season is the Batman show where Terry is dressed up as Batman, and the Batmobile is on set. It was quite the experience,” shared Larry Zanoff. “If you like firearms and film, you will enjoy this show – and especially this season. Our writer Dan Ramm always keeps things entertaining, and our director John Carter is a master of high speed photography, so you will definitely see things you don’t see on your average TV show. And its all real! We don’t fake the tests. If it works, it works, if it doesn’t, it doesn’t.”

His precision and attention to detail are not just about authenticity but also about creating a secure environment for cast and crew.

Terry Schappert, a dynamic host of Hollywood Weapons, is not just a charismatic screen presence; he is also a decorated Green Beret. Schappert's extensive military experience, including his role as a Special Forces medic, has given him a unique perspective on the realistic potential of action sequences portrayed in television and film. He is a master of survival skills and hand-to-hand combat and brings an exceptional level of authenticity to the show. When Schappert is not jumping into the fray of staged battles and boldly recreating cinematic feats, he shares his knowledge as a combat expert on various platforms, all while keeping viewers on the edge of their seats with his infectious enthusiasm and expert insights.
