The brand new reality series Squatters kicks off with a two-episode premiere on A&E Tuesday, July 1 beginning at 10/9c.

Those hoping to check out the latest A&E series can stream the show even without access to basic cable through Philo (free trial), DirecTV (free trial) or Sling (50% off first month).

What is Squatters about?

The new series highlights dangerous and relentless squatters—people who are taking over homes across the country. With the practice increasing around the nation, a man by the name of Flash Shelton is hard at work to get them out.

With bold tactics and street smarts, Flash and his team face tense and sometimes dangerous situations to help families reclaim their property.

Each episode reveals the emotional and high-stakes battles where the fight for justice can quickly escalate, putting everyone involved at risk. This series highlights the struggle to take back what rightfully belongs to those affected.

The Squatters premiere episode follows Shelton and his team as they head to Conroe, Texas to help a grieving family reclaim their late grandmother’s home from a squatter couple who moved in after her passing.

The second episode in the series, which releases immediately following the debut of the series, shows the team traveling to Garland, Texas to help another family repossess their deceased brother’s home from a squatter who moved in on the day that their brother died.
