WETA Local Production "If You Lived Here" Returns for Season 4 October 28

Arlington, Virginia – The popular WETA local house-hunting series, If You Lived Here, returns for Season 4 to spotlight an all-new collection of 12 neighborhoods throughout the national capital area. The season premiere will air on Monday, October 28 at 9 p.m. on WETA PBS and 8 p.m. on WETA Metro, with streaming available on the PBS app and at weta.org. Five more episodes will follow this fall, with an additional six to air in early 2025.

In Season 4, new series hosts Jennifer (Jen) Osborn and Ricardo Frederick Evans join a local realtor to tour three homes in each episode and immerse themselves in the communities of the D.C. Metro region one neighborhood at a time. Each 30-minute episode celebrates the area’s history, culture, notable places, and unique flavors. Jen and Ricardo take the reins from former hosts Christine Louise and the late John Begeny, who hosted the series for the first three seasons.

“We are so proud of the work that Christine and John did on If You Lived Here and look forward to Jen and Ricardo building upon their legacy,” said Miguel Monteverde, senior vice president and general manager, WETA Greater Washington. “Our new hosts will offer their own unique perspectives on D.C.-area real estate, and, as the series has done for three seasons, they will celebrate the people, past and present, who make this region what it is.” 

Season 4 will kick off on October 28 in Burke, Virginia where hosts Jen and Ricardo visit three homes at three different price points with realtor Lauren Breslaw. Along the way, they explore the history of the community’s railroad, its Copperthite Racetrack, and the residents’ successful campaign against the construction of “Burke Airport.”

Jen and Ricardo visit 12 neighborhoods this season, including Burke, Fairfax, Occoquan/Lorton, and South Arlington in Virginia; Cleveland Park, Hill East, Woodridge/Langdon, and Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C.; and College Park, Gaithersburg, Frederick, and Ellicott City in Maryland.

The first six episodes of Season 4 of If You Lived Here will air on Mondays at 9 p.m. on WETA PBS and 8 p.m. on WETA Metro, from Oct. 28 through Dec. 9, with no airings on Nov. 18. Six more episodes will premiere in early 2025. Following its broadcast premiere, each episode will be available to stream on the PBS app and at weta.org.
