Plot Synopsis

MOVE OR IMPROVE is a half-hour docuseries that follows homeowners who are no longer happy with their home and find themselves at a real estate crossroads. With new babies in tow, kids leaving for college, or a remote work-from-home plan, these homeowners are stuck in limbo as they embark on the emotional journey to make one life-changing decision: to renovate and stay in their current home, move to a different home nearby, or relocate to a new city entirely. Three life-changing options, one exciting, yet terrifying, decision. Will they move or improve? MOVE OR IMPROVE debuted on Saturday, August 13, 2022 from Noon-1pm ET/PT with back-to-back new episodes on A&E:

"Tampa or Revamp Her?" (Noon): Whitney and Derick purchased their home nine years ago, as a place to raise and enjoy their growing family. Now, with busy schedules, after-school activities and varying interests, family time is often hard to come by. But making the situation worse is their actual home! With a poorly designed layout that literally puts walls between them, and a bleak backyard, the home doesn't exactly encourage family togetherness. Whitney is desperate for quality time with her kids that are growing up fast and is determined to move before they go off to college. Derick still believes this home can be their forever home and wants to stay and renovate. But whether they break down the walls to bring their family together, or just move out, one thing they agree on is that all this lost family time, is time that can never be replaced, and they need to make a decision about their home now.

"Empty Nest or New Nest" (12:30pm): After building what they thought was their dream home together, Felicia and Jerelde's house no longer suits their current needs. With a thriving meal prep business and frustrated with limited counter space to fulfill all her orders, Felicia is ready to find a new home that will allow her to grow her business. But Jerelde thinks their home still has potential and wants to stay--despite that his 6'5" frame barely fits in their phone booth sized shower! Even though they disagree about their situation, their 15-year-old son is going off to college in a few years, and these soon to be empty nesters are thinking about taking the plunge and making a move to a new home they've always dreamed of. Or will they choose to renovate and love the home they built together that holds all their family memories? Will he get his way, or will she get hers?
