Flip or Flop was renewed for Season 9 back in December of last year.
If 2020 had played out normally, Season 9 may have already filmed, but now Christina Anstead may have the chance to share her truth more in depth on TV, should she want that for Flip or Flop.
Anstead also has a more intimate HGTV show Christina on the Coast, which tends to focus more on her personal life and may be a better fit for this story, as well.
It was initially anticipated to have a summer of 2020 premiere, but obviously a lot of stuff on the TV schedule has been shuffled around this year.
