The iconic reality TV show “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” is making a comeback on ABC, this time hosted by Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin of the popular home organization duo, The Home Edit. The original series, which aired from 2003 to 2011, focused on transforming homes for families facing hardship, emphasizing heartwarming stories and community impact. The reboot aims to inspire viewers with breathtaking builds and exceptional design by the duo, showcasing the power of giving back.
In the early 2000s, reality TV was filled with body-changing shows. ABC decided to spin off their body-changing show, “Extreme Makeover,” into a home version, “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.” The series ran for eight inspiring years, bringing heartwarming stories to the screen. The show’s focus on home renovations and community impact made it a must-watch television series. Although the show has undergone a makeover itself, its core purpose remains the same: to inspire viewers and bring positivity to the screen.
The new edition of “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” will feature heartwarming stories, inspired volunteers, and mind-blowing builds for deserving families who give back to their communities. Led by Clea and Joanna, the duo will utilize their world-renowned organizational expertise to design and tailor each home inside and out. With the show itself getting a makeover, this reboot will still have the bones that made “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” one of the most regarded makeover shows on TV.
The show’s hosts, Clea and Joanna, are perfect for the job. With their expertise in organization and design, they will bring a refreshing twist to the show. Their bubbly personalities and brilliant minds in the art of organization will add a new vibe to the show. As they did on their own show, Clea and Joanna are determined to give the individuals the tools they need to transform their lives and the way they live. Not only will these homes be transformed, they will look beautiful!
With the production team, including Reese Witherspoon’s extraordinary production company Hello Sunshine, chances are this program will shine. The show intends to bring joy and positivity to the screen, giving television fans a place to escape and feel good. During its original run, the show won two Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Reality Program, and with its new edition, perhaps it will receive just as much Emmy love!
The new edition of “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” will debut in the 2024-2025 ABC television season. Previous episodes of the original seasons are available to stream on Hulu in the U.S.
