GREEN LIGHT TO ‘MOVE THAT BUS’
Do the words “move that bus!” get you inexplicably excited? Are you a sucker for a makeover?
Well, good news. Extreme Makeover: HomeEditionisbeingrebootedforHGTV.
Originally hosted by Ty Pennington, pictured, and broadcast on ABC from 2003 to 2012, the reality show will air 10 new episodes next year. No word yet on who the new host or cast members will be.
“This is a big win for HGTV and we can’t wait to put our stamp on it,” said Kathleen Finch, Discovery Inc.’s chief lifestyle brands officer.
As in the original series, each episode will follow designers and carpenters as they fully renovate one home belonging to a family that’s facing a struggle such as the death of a family member or illness.
Pennington appears in Trading Spaces, another comeback show for HGTV.
