Let me tell you, folks, the mystery surrounding Home Town has finally been cracked wide open!

This is a game-changer, and trust me, fans are going to lose their minds over this news.
On February 24, Erin Napier, the charming designer half of the Napier duo, posted a throwback photo on her Instagram account. In the picture, the 38-year-old Erin and her husband Ben, 40, are seen posing with none other than Jonathan Walters, a familiar face from the early seasons of Home Town. Erin's caption read, "Gettin the band back together! #HomeTownTakeover @jwalters_build @jimmacpherson @scotsman.co." It's clear that Jonathan's return is a big deal, and fans are already buzzing about it.
Home Town Takeover Season 3: What's Cooking in Sebring, Florida?
Season 3 of Home Town Takeover is currently in production, and it's happening in the sunny city of Sebring, Florida. If you're wondering what this show is all about, it's a spinoff of the original Home Town, where Erin and Ben take their design expertise to new cities, transforming homes and neighborhoods one project at a time. During an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show on February 20, Erin teased fans about the return of a past cast member, leaving everyone guessing who it might be. "The real Home Town fans are going to be very excited to see someone who is a part of Takeover season 3," she said with a sly smile. And now, we know who that person is—Jonathan Walters!

Fans had their theories about who the returning cast member could be. Some guessed it would be Mike Husers, the flooring expert, while others thought it might be Randy Sherrell, the talented woodworker. But when Erin posted the picture with Jonathan, the internet went wild. Comments poured in from fans who were thrilled to see Jonathan back in action. "Can't wait! We miss seeing Jonathan!!" one fan wrote. Another commented, "That's so awesome. I can hardly wait to see you guys together again."
It's been a long time since Jonathan last graced our screens. He was a key player in the first three seasons of Home Town before announcing his departure in May 2019. Fans were heartbroken when he left, but now it seems like he's back where he belongs, working alongside Erin and Ben to make Sebring a better place.
Jonathan's Departure: A Bittersweet Goodbye
Back in 2019, Erin posted a heartfelt tribute to Jonathan when he announced his departure from the show. "He’s been our project manager on #hgtvhometown since the very first episode. The bearer of bad news + the solution opportunist and, apparently, according to Twitter, the heartthrob of Home Town (sorry ladies, he’s married)," she wrote. Erin went on to say, "He’s leaving us for greener pastures (sunnier shores?) in Florida and tonight we said goodbye for now. We’ve been having dinner dates at Tabella since the show began. Ugh. We hate goodbyes, y’all." It's clear that Jonathan was more than just a colleague—he was a close friend and a key part of the Home Town family.
In January 2020, Jonathan addressed his decision to leave the show in a rare Instagram comment. "You won’t see me on any episodes of this season, but I have no doubt that Ben and Erin and the rest of the Home Town team knocked it out of the park again!" he wrote. Now, with Jonathan back in the mix, fans are excited to see what he'll bring to the table in Season 3 of Home Town Takeover.
What to Expect from Home Town Takeover Season 3
Erin and Ben are thrilled to be working on this new season of Home Town Takeover, especially with Jonathan back in the fold. They're taking on the challenge of transforming Sebring, a beautiful lake city, and they're ready to make it shine. "It’s a really interesting town that we are really excited about," Ben said. "We are cautiously optimistic, but this show is really hard to make. We have a lot of special guests coming, and a lot of people coming in to help, but there’s going to be a lot of work that’s going to go into it." It sounds like Season 3 is going to be full of surprises, and fans can't wait to see what's in store.
