Bobby Berk is returning to television with a surprising twist, and this time, he’s teaming up with none other than John Cena.
HGTV has greenlit a new six-episode series titled Junk or Jackpot?, diving into the cluttered and emotional world of obsessive collectors, Variety reports.
Coming on the heels of several notable cancellations at the network, the show promises a fresh blend of heart, humor, and hidden treasures.
Executive produced by Cena and hosted by Berk, the show will premiere later this year and follow homeowners overwhelmed by vast and often unusual collections, ranging from superhero figurines to life-size puppets and miniature sets.
The goal is to help participants determine whether their beloved items are worth a fortune—or just taking up valuable space.
According to HGTV’s description, these homes are often so packed that there’s no room for actual furniture, leaving families living in cramped conditions that are in desperate need of a makeover.
Berk will guide homeowners through the emotional process of evaluating their collections, deciding what to keep, what to let go of, and ultimately uncovering “found money” to help fund their home renovations.
With his signature compassion and design savvy, Berk aims to turn emotional chaos into functional beauty, all while honoring the passion behind each collector’s unique obsession.
The show is produced by 44 Blue Productions for Warner Bros. Discovery’s HGTV, and it marks an exciting new direction for Berk following his departure from Queer Eye.
“Collecting is a personal pastime that brings joy and inspiration,” Berk said. “But it’s easy to get carried away, which can negatively impact your living conditions. I’m excited to help passionate people sift through their cherished items and give them reimagined spaces that best honor what they hold dear.”
John Cena added that the idea for Junk or Jackpot? came from a conversation with friends. “People often wonder if their collections are trash or treasure,” he said. “And this show will help them find out.”
With its mix of emotional storytelling, interior transformation, and the thrill of possibly discovering a jackpot, Junk or Jackpot? could become HGTV’s next big hit—one collector’s item at a time.
