Extreme Home Makeover: Home Edition, which aired from 2003 to 2012 in its original iteration, got the reboot treatment in 2020. While the original show aired on ABC, the new version is on HGTV. But it keeps the same premise at heart, and it even features some of the same familiar faces. 

Ty Pennington, the original show's popular and bubbly host, isn't hosting the reboot, but he's still involved as a carpenter. The host this time around is Modern Family star Jesse Tyler Ferguson. Ferguson told Parade about his new gig, explaining, "The producers came to me because they wanted someone totally different from Ty, and they wanted someone who could bring humor as well as a human connection. It's a tricky balance because you're part Oprah Winfrey, part Bob the Builder."

The team of designers and carpenters on the new edition of the show is stacked with talent, though largely different from the team in the original series. HGTV has also tapped other talent from its network of creatives to help out on the show, including Tarek El Moussa and Jasmine Roth, according to Parade. The reboot also sees some celebrity guests like LeAnn Rimes, Tyler Florence, and Anthony Anderson.
