High school sweethearts, a sprawling 130-acre estate with deep French regal roots, and a seemingly perpetual renovation make up the heart of HGTV’s Castle Impossible. This show documents a renovation undertaking that blends enchantment with daunting challenges. The first season wrapped with its eighth episode on June 17, leaving viewers eagerly anticipating more episodes filled with stunning room makeovers and ongoing searches for hidden riches.
The tale kicked off when Daphne Reckert inherited the Château de Lésigny in 2020. This 500-year-old castle in Lésigny, France, carries a history of hosting royal figures like King Louis XIII but had sadly fallen into neglect. Upon her grandfather’s death, Reckert, along with her husband Ian Figueira, took on the responsibility of restoring its old grandeur.
The couple faces a vast task with each corner of the chateau demanding attention, and eight episodes in, they’ve only begun to tackle this mammoth project. They still need to uncover the fabled treasure allegedly hidden by a former owner, Leonora Dori Galigai. It would indeed be a cruel cliffhanger to end the series while mid-way through a treasure quest.
Will Castle Impossible return for a second season? Or will viewers never get to see a fully restored Château de Lésigny? Here’s everything we know about the future of Castle Impossible.
Has Castle Impossible Been Renewed For Season 2?
Nope, not yet. HGTV recently confirmed with Country Living that there is currently “no news to share” regarding a possible Season 2 of the charming renovation series. Still, there’s no need to fret — with an outpouring of love from viewers and many more rooms to tackle on Reckert and Figueira’s renovation journey, the future of Castle Impossible looks promising.
When Could Castle Impossible Return To HGTV?
We have no idea. Sit tight, HGTV-heads — if the show does get renewed, it’s likely that news of a release date may not come until next spring.
What Might Be The Focus Of Castle Impossible Season 2?
Honestly, the sky’s the limit for such a huge estate. As Reckert illustrates over at HGTV.com, the renovation possibilities for the chateau are endless. “We’re not just fixing one window, we have to fix 134 windows — that’s just for the chateau. And then there’s the lodge. The 28 horse stables. We have the farmhouse, the dove tower — and then there’s the cabin in the woods…it’s immense!” We sure hope that Reckert and Figueira are able to document the immense project with an immense number of seasons.
