These days people really love to follow their favorite shows on social media. However, that won’t be possible with Cash in the Attic.

8. Season One Will Have Six Episodes
Sorry to all of the people out there who enjoy shows with long seasons, but you won’t be getting that wish Cash in the Attic. The first season is relatively short with just six episodes. Shorter seasons are fairly common with new shows, though. Hopefully, subsequent seasons of the show will have at least 10 episodes.

Courtney Tezeno is no stranger to the TV hosting world. Throughout her career, she has worked on several shows and done interviews at many red carpet events. This, however, marks her first time hosting a show on HGTV. There’s no doubt that this opportunity could open up lots of other doors for her.

At the moment, however, there hasn’t been any announcement about the show being renewed for a second season. That doesn’t mean that it isn’t going to happen, though.Courtney Tezeno
