* Hulu (streaming, episodes available the day after Freeform airings).

- Season 1: 12 episodes.
Think of it as a fast-paced, thrifty cousin of traditional HGTV makeover shows, built around flea markets, vintage finds, and creative budgets.
How “That Thrifting Show” Works
- Each episode features two designer duos (teams of two).
- Teams get identical empty rooms to transform.
- Rules:
- Shop only thrift stores, flea markets, and vintage sources.
2. Work with a **limited budget**.
3. Finish under serious **time pressure** (“race against the clock”).
- Goal: Create the most stylish, layered, and original room using secondhand finds, blending style + sustainability.
Lara hosts, narrates the hunt, and guides viewers through the design choices while the duos scramble for the best pieces before the other team snags them.
Judges, Vibe, and Connection to “Flea Market Flip”
- Host & Executive Producer: Lara Spencer, known for Flea Market Flip and Good Morning America.
- Judges: Style experts Robert Hartwell, Dani Klaric, and Preston Konrad weigh in on the finished rooms.
- Tone of the show:
- Competitive but upbeat and design‑nerdy.
* Heavy emphasis on **thrifting** , repurposing, and eco‑friendly decorating.
Lara has framed it as a spiritual follow‑up for Flea Market Flip fans: if you liked watching teams flip flea‑market finds on HGTV (2012–2019), this is her big 2026 return to that world with a new network and a more structured competition format.
