Popular HGTV series Flip or Flop will return for an eighth season.
The network announced in a press release Wednesday that it renewed the show for 15 more episodes slated to premiere in the spring.
Flip or Flop stars former couple Tarek El Moussa and Christina El Moussa, who split in December 2016 after seven years of marriage. The show follows the pair as they flip homes in the Orange County, Calif., area.
"HGTV fans have followed Tarek and Christina through scores of house flips and supported their personal journey for years," HGTV president Allison Page said. "We're eager to see how they continue to run their flipping business, co-parent their children and start new chapters in their professional and personal lives."
