Hey there, Good Bones fans! If you're wondering what's next for Karen E. Laine after the beloved show wrapped up its final season in August 2023, you're not alone. Fans are buzzing with excitement over the possibility of a spinoff show featuring Karen. She and her daughter, Mina Starsiak Hawk, teased some big solo projects coming down the pipeline, leaving everyone on the edge of their seats.
Is Karen E. Laine Plotting a New TV Adventure?
It seems like Karen might be cooking up something special. The DIY expert recently purchased a charming new home in Wilmington, North Carolina, and she’s been giving her followers a sneak peek into the renovation process through her Instagram account. When a curious fan asked her if this transformation would be filmed for a potential HGTV show, Karen playfully responded with a simple "Maybe." That's got us all guessing and hoping for a spinoff!
As of now, HGTV hasn't officially announced any new projects starring Karen, but she’s definitely expressed her love for the network. During a September 2023 interview with the Indianapolis Business Journal, Karen opened up about her passion for creating content. "After eight incredible years on Good Bones, I’ve grown to adore our production team," she said. "They’re talented, supportive, and have taught me so much. I’d love to keep working with them and HGTV for as long as possible. It’s been a dream working with such amazing people, and I’d be thrilled to continue creating content for HGTV."

Behind the Scenes: The Laine Family Dynamics
Now, let’s talk about what’s happening behind the scenes with the Laine family. Just weeks after announcing the end of Good Bones, Mina revealed that she and her mom were going through a bit of a rough patch. Relationships can get complicated, right? In an August 2023 episode of her podcast, "Mina AF," she shared some candid thoughts. "We all try to act like adults and pretend everything’s fine, but behind closed doors, it’s not always that way," Mina admitted. "My mom and I aren’t in the best place right now. Same goes for my relationship with my brothers, Tad and William. It’s just one of those phases where things are a little tense, and we’re not engaging as much as we used to."

While Mina has patched things up with her brother William, she’s still navigating her differences with Karen and Tad. Karen, however, hasn’t publicly addressed the situation. Instead, she’s focusing her energy on her latest cottage makeover and planning for retirement. "I’ve always dreamed of retiring to North Carolina," Karen wrote on Instagram back in March 2023. "So, I decided to buy a house there with the idea of possibly retiring there. It’s going to take some time to get it all fixed up, but I’m excited about the project. Of course, I’ll always come back to Indy for family and work, but this could be my little escape during my downtime."
And Karen isn’t the only one expanding her real estate empire. Mina and her husband, Steve Hawk, recently purchased a stunning lake house. The couple, who are parents to Jack and Charlotte, are busy renovating the space. "Y’all ready for a 'Good Bones Takes the Lake' edition?!" Mina teased on Instagram in July 2023. Looks like the family’s passion for design isn’t slowing down anytime soon!
