Get ready, Canada: Corus Entertainment is getting set to launch two all-new, Canadian-owned lifestyle networks, chock-full of everything to satisfy and sate both your design palettes and your culinary palates.
Coming this winter, and designed specifically for Canadian audiences, are the Flavour Network and Home Network, each bringing a slate of exclusive content to the screen featuring new voices and formats as well as familiar faces from proven hits.
Home Network promises to deliver the feeling of “home” beyond four walls with inspiring storytelling, while Flavour Network will provide a fresh take on all things food.
“When the opportunity presented itself to renovate Canadian lifestyle TV, we were pretty excited because it meant building even better networks for our audiences,” Troy Reeb, Co-CEO of Corus Entertainment, told Global News.
“These fresher, younger networks allow us to shake away the old handcuffs and create two amazing, distinctively Canadian brands that reward the same large and loyal audience bases with the best content in the country, all while adding exciting new ideas.”

Canadian content will drive programming across both networks, with more than 110 hours of premium original content confirmed for 2025/2026, including six titles currently in production.

Corus Studios titles originally slated for Food Network Canada and HGTV Canada will air on the new lifestyle networks, including new seasons of Scott’s Vacation House Rules, Pamela’s Garden of Eden and Renovation Resort.
Top Chef Canada has been greenlit for Season 12 to air exclusively on Flavour Network and new seasons of The Great Chocolate Showdown and Carnival Eats will also join the 2025 lineup, along with Season 1 of Pamela Anderson’s Pamela’s Cooking with Love.

On the food side, the Flavour Network will tempt your tastebuds with a new menu consisting of Chasing Flavor with Carla Hall, Adam Richman Eats Britain, and Andi Oliver’s Fabulous Feasts.
Chef icon Gordon Ramsay finds a new seat at the table in Canada with Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars and Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares, airing exclusively on Flavour Network. Great British Menu, The Great American Recipe, Morimoto’s Sushi Master and many more will also join the network.
“These are new brands but in many ways they’re not that new. They’re from us after all – Corus, the proven expert in lifestyle,” said Reeb.
“These brands have many of the same big hits, and the same programming experts building the schedules. You know us, you trust us, and while the names may be changing, Home Network and Flavour Network offer viewers the same premium Canadian lifestyle programming that they’ve come to know and love from Corus.”
Additional programming details and shows will be announced later this year, as well as the official launch of HomeNetwork.ca and FlavourNetwork.ca.
