David Bromstad Joins Zillow Gone Wild Finale in Florida
david bromstad will join Jack McBrayer in the Season 3 finale of Zillow Gone Wild, and the crossover was filmed in Florida. McBrayer said the episode centers on a homeowner obsessed with James Bond spy movies, turning the tour into a Bond-inspired stop rather than a standard real-estate walkthrough.
McBrayer and Bromstad
“Oh, it was so fun,” McBrayer said of the pairing. He added, “That fella knows a house,” a useful line for a show built around strange design choices and homes that need a host who can move through them without mockery. Bromstad’s presence gives the finale a second HGTV face with enough design credibility to carry the joke without flattening the house into a punch line.
“Any chance to work with him, I would say yes in a heartbeat,” McBrayer said of Bromstad. The setup also keeps the series aligned with what the previous two seasons established: homeowners were there to be celebrated, not embarrassed, which makes a guest appearance from an HGTV veteran a fit for the format rather than a gimmick.
Florida Bond house
“We were in Florida, and our homeowner was obsessed with James Bond spy movies, so it was very James Bond-inspired. And, like, to the T. It was so fun,” McBrayer said. That gives the finale a specific visual hook: a themed house tour in Florida shaped by one owner’s Bond fixation, with Bromstad and McBrayer guiding viewers through the property rather than around it.
The third season premieres on Friday, May 1, and McBrayer said it is “jam-packed with 41 new houses.” For a home-tour series, that is the business-side draw: volume. A season that large gives the finale room to stand out, because the Bond-inspired episode is not just another stop — it is the one that closes out a 41-house run.
Retta, D'Arcy Carden
McBrayer also said he would love to join Retta on her show, “if anything, just to laugh with her all day,” and he floated a crossover with D'Arcy Carden on Wild Vacation Rentals. He even imagined Conan O'Brien joining him on a future house tour, saying, “Could you imagine, like, me and Conan O'Brien going through somebody’s house? He’s just clocking his head on every doorway. That gangly scarecrow!”
The practical takeaway is simple: Season 3 starts Friday, May 1 at 9:30/8:30c, and the finale is the Bromstad episode. If you are watching for the franchise’s most workable crossover, that is the hour to wait for, because the show is using its final stop to turn a Florida Bond house into the season’s marquee guest visit.
