Jonathan Knight’s ‘Insane’ Summer: New Show in the Works

There’s still no word on whether Jonathan Knight’s “Farmhouse Fixer” will return to HGTV for a fourth season. But fans eager to see more of him after his stint on the current season of “Rock the Block” may want to head to Las Vegas.

Jonathan told People on April 24, 2025, that his summer there is “going to be insane.” The New Kids on the Block (NKOTB) member, who’s competing with his brother and fellow bandmate Jordan Knight on season six of “Rock the Block,” will be part of the group’s Las Vegas residency at the Dolby Live at Park MGM from June 20 to July 5. They’ll be back for more shows from November 1 – 15, and again in February 2026.

The summer residency, he said, will be extra busy due to other fan events they have planned. And it looks like filming a new HGTV show while there is in the works, too.

Jonathan Knight is Likely Filming a New HGTV Show in Vegas

Teasing NKOTB’s “The Right Stuff” residency, Jonathan told People, “Vegas is going to be insane. It’s definitely gong to be very different from other shows that we did. I mean, we are in Vegas, so it’s a little more upscale, a little more sexy. And the stage is absolutely huge.”

On top of the concerts, per People, the group has multiple fan events planned. A “Blockhead HQ Clubhouse” will be located at Park MGM, complete with an NKOTB museum featuring “memorabilia, live entertainment and panels, themed food and drinks.” Members plan to make appearances there, too.

The band will also appear at several after-parties following their concerts on June 21, June 28, and July 5, per People, at On the Record Speakeasy inside the Park MGM.

Meanwhile, it looks highly likely that Jonathan — and potentially his bandmates — will be part of an HGTV show filming in Vegas. In February, a casting agent working with High Noon, the production company behind “Farmhouse Fixer,” posted a casting call for a NKOTB “superfans” who live within 60 minutes of Las Vegas and desperately need a home makeover.

The post from Justin Nichols said, “✨NOW CASTING: NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK SUPERFANS IN THE LAS VEGAS AREA✨ Do you have tons of NKOTB merchandise and swag? Is your house a 1980s time warp? Does your home desperately need a makeover?!”

Casting is now closed, according to Backstage, which said filming will take place in June and July — the same time of NKOTB’s first residency shows.

35th Anniversary Album Release Will Feature Jonathan Knight’s 1st Time as Lead Singer on a NKOTB Song

On April 24, NKOTB announced they’ll release a 35th anniversary edition of their “Step By Step” album on June 13, featuring bonus material, unreleased tracks, and remixes. The album features Jonathan’s first song as lead singer, “Happy Birthday” — a move that the group’s manager insisted on.

“I never wanted to be front and center,” Jonathan told People, “but I remember Maurice was very adamant about me singing it. He said, ‘Everybody has a birthday and it happens every year. So you have to do this because fans are going to play this every year on their birthday for the rest of their lives.’ And, yeah. he was right.”

Jonathan sang it live during each concert on the group’s Summer Magic Tour in 2024, which many of his HGTV colleagues attended.

“It’s such an amazing gift that we’re still singing these songs that we recorded when we were kids,” he told People, “and that our fans still love singing along with us 35 years later.”
