Hey there! If you’ve ever tuned into HGTV, you’ve likely caught a glimpse of the dynamic duo, Eric and Lindsey Bennett, from the hit series Desert Flippers. This power couple didn’t just renovate homes; they transformed them into dream properties in the sizzling desert of Palm Springs, California. Oh, and did I mention they juggled all this while raising their three adorable kids? Scroll down to uncover what’s happened to these beloved TV personalities since their HGTV days.
Remembering the Flip Phenomenon
Back in 2016, the first season of Desert Flippers premiered, and HGTV viewers were instantly hooked. Eric and Lindsey were more than just contractors; they were a husband-and-wife team with a mission to renovate a staggering 20 properties a year. Talk about dedication! But let’s be real—renovating homes in Palm Springs wasn’t all sunshine and palm trees. They faced some pretty wild challenges, from sweltering heat to unwelcome critters like rattlesnakes and scorpions. Yet, their passion for design and their teamwork made every obstacle worth it.
Season two rolled around in 2017, and the Bennetts were back at it, this time reviving a classic ‘90s-style home. The following year, season three hit the airwaves, keeping fans on the edge of their seats with each new renovation. But as the seasons progressed, the question on everyone’s mind was: would there be a season four? In 2019, Lindsey opened up to The Desert Sun, hinting at the uncertainty surrounding the show’s future. “We don’t know,” she admitted. “The direction we’re going in is ever-changing, and it’s nice to take a breather and assess.”

Eric echoed her sentiments, adding another layer to the equation: the real estate market. “Four or five years ago, you could stumble upon a distressed property just by walking down the street,” he explained. “But now, property values are through the roof, and everyone wants a piece of Palm Springs. Committing to another 14 flips is no small feat. So, we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. But for now, we’re really enjoying our downtime.”
What’s Next for the Bennett Family?
As of now, HGTV hasn’t made an official announcement about the return of Desert Flippers. But that doesn’t mean Eric and Lindsey have been sitting idle. In fact, they’ve been cherishing their time away from the spotlight, focusing on what matters most: family. These days, you can find them spending quality time with their three sons, Graham, Roman, and Dean, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
In September 2022, the couple shared exciting news on their joint Instagram account: their dog was expecting puppies! Fans were thrilled and flooded the comments with well-wishes. Amidst the excitement, one fan couldn’t help but ask if Eric and Lindsey would ever grace our screens again. “Congrats on the puppies,” the fan wrote. “I suppose there’s no chance of more Desert Flippers seasons coming out? Yours was my favorite of that genre.” To which the couple replied with a hopeful, “Never say never!”
