HGTV has announced that it officially renewed its hit home makeover series "Rock The Block," and they certainly have plenty in store for viewers.

Things are already looking as fierce and as promising as can be. HGTV most definitely did not come to play! Season One stole the hearts of millions of viewers so much so that this coming season is sure to be a blast.

The teams are stacked, the judges have been selected, and of course, the stage is set. Here is what you need to know about the much anticipated second season of "Rock The Block."

THIS SEASON WILL BE DIFFERENT

On October 21, 2019, HGTV unveiled its exciting home makeover series "Rock The Block." The renovation stars were set against each other as they raced against time to renovate and add value to similar properties in Los Angeles for a cash prize.

The judges would then access the transformations to pick a winner. In December 2019, the series came to an end with reality television sweetheart Jasmine Roth as the "Rock the Block" winner.

Roth competed against other renovation wizzes Mina Starsiak Hawk, Alison Victoria, and Leanne Ford. Starsiak Hawk came in second place, much to the chagrin of her fans who were rooting for her.

For the much-anticipated season 2, the showdown is no longer an all-woman gig. The teams will reportedly be composed of HGTV's most prominent design stars, both male and female.

HGTV has not yet revealed where exactly it will all be going down.

Apart from the team composition, the renovation budget has also been changed. Last season, contestants were given a budget of $175,000, but this year, they will be getting a whopping $225,000 to renovate to their hearts' content and to their viewers' delight.

WHEN WILL SEASON TWO COME?

"Rock The Block" season two is said to be slated for a premiere on March 8 at 9.p. ET/PT on HGTV. It will also be available for streaming on discovery+ on the premiere day.

WHO IS IN IT?

This year, quite a lot of things have been revamped. While season one saw an "every woman for herself" approach, this second chapter will see eight competitors in two-person teams.

The contesting duos on the season's cast are: Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent from "Nate and Jeremiah: Save My House." Mike Holmes from "Holmes on Homes" and Alison Victoria from "Windy City Rehab."
