Move that bus! Get ready to hear that iconic phase once again, as a brand new iteration of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition returns to TV. The home renovation show that helped struggling families realize the home of their dreams is back with a new team leading the way, but looking to provide the same inspirational and tear-inducing moments that made the franchise a hit.
The original Extreme Makeover: Home Edition premiered back in 2003 and was led by Ty Pennington for the first nine seasons, which wrapped up in 2012. A brief run of episodes in 2020 were hosted by Jesse Tyler Ferguson. But this new iteration is hoping to create a new legacy for the show and win over a new generation of viewers.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition reboot.
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition release date
ABC premieres Extreme Makeover: Home Edition on Thursday, January 2, at 8 pm ET/PT. The show will air weekly on the network, with all of the latest episodes becoming available to stream on-demand the day after they air on Hulu.
In order to watch Extreme Makeover: Home Edition live you must have access to your local ABC station. That can be through a traditional pay-TV provider, a TV antenna or a live TV streaming service that carries ABC (i.e. Fubo, Hulu with Live TV, YouTube TV). As mentioned, a Hulu subscription (stand-alone, via Hulu with Live TV or through the Disney Bundle) allows you to watch the show on-demand.
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition hosts
Taking over the reins as the hosts of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition are Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin. The pair are co-founders of the global lifestyle brand The Home Edit.
This is not the first time that the duo have had their own TV show, as they hosted previous home/lifestyle shows Master the Mess and Get Organized with the Home Edit, the latter of which is currently streaming on Netflix.
In addition to Shearer and Teplin, the team of designers on this new edition of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition includes Wendell Holland and Arianne Bellizaire.
