Seasons
In the first series, House of Bryan[2] (later referred to as In the City;[3] a.k.a. House of Bryan 1), they renovate a small bungalow into a much larger dream home while under the careful watch of Baeumler's family.[4]
A second series, House of Bryan: On the Rocks (provisionally House of Bryan 2), was produced. The show, which debuted in April 2012, focused on building the Baeumler family's cottage on Georgian Bay.[5]
The third series, House of Bryan: In the Sticks (a.k.a. House of Bryan 3), was made. The show, which debuted in 2014, focused on building the Baeumler forever home, in the countryside, like where Bryan grew up, to give their children the advantages of country-living. They wanted to build a place to grow old in, and for their descendants to return to.[3] The show focuses on building an extension to a house they've bought.
The fourth series, House of Bryan: The Final Straw (a.k.a. House of Bryan 4) debuted in October 2015.[6] The show focuses on finishing renovations to the old section of the house they've built an extension to and landscaping.
