Garrett and Niki are fascinated by how other people live, so they try to find some really interesting living situations - and live there! They experience totally different lifestyles, to see which ones will bring them closer together, or push them further apart.

Homebuddies is sharp precisely because it refuses to treat a home as background.
The Netflix series follows Garrett Werner and Niki Ang, a pair fascinated by how other people live, as they move into a run of very different living situations and try to live by the rules of each place. The premise promises novelty, yet the effect is intimate. Each relocation resets expectations around privacy and routine, and the comedy grows from that reset rather than from manufactured conflict.
That focus gives the show its argument about compatibility. Garrett and Niki do not tour homes so much as test themselves inside them. One arrangement rewards early mornings and shared chores.
Another rewards solitude and careful negotiation over space. The camera lingers on small adjustments — who takes the smaller bedroom or who adapts to unfamiliar kitchen habits, and those adjustments reveal affection or friction faster than any confessional could.
Across its nine-episode first season, the pattern holds without feeling repetitive because the hosts remain curious rather than competitive. Werner plays the enthusiastic adapter, quick to embrace local custom. Ang provides dry resistance, asking what a lifestyle costs in time or comfort.
Some reality titles arrive with press tours and tabloid baggage. This one did not. latestnetflix.com's view is that Homebuddies (2017) shows up in database listings as a small American reality TV entry built around cohabitation, compatibility and very different personalities under one roof.
There is no verified gossip file here. No reunion drama, no leaked salaries, no tell-all interviews in the evidence provided. What exists is a short premise, a core cast pairing, and a current streaming listing. For a column that usually trades in behind-the-scenes noise, that thin trail is the story.
The basics are consistent across the few database hits:
That is essentially the whole public premise available from these snippets. No episode titles, episode counts, creators, or production anecdotes are explicit in the evidence, so none get added here.
Usually a reality show leaves clues. Feuds, casting shakeups, location stories. Homebuddies leaves almost none in this search set.
The only practical viewing note comes from a streaming guide, which lists Homebuddies (2017) as available to watch streaming on Netflix and Netflix Standard with Ads. Availability can change by region and date, and the snippet does not spell out seasons or extras, so treat that as a starting point rather than a guarantee.
Bottom line: unconfirmed rumors would be fabrication at this point. Until more cast interviews or production records surface, Homebuddies remains what the listings say it is, a 2017 reality experiment about Garrett and Niki testing whether where you live changes how you get along.
