They will be joined by builders and contractors from Taylor Morrison, who will customize the family’s home to fit their lifestyle and requirements. The series will demonstrate the transformative impact of renovation, showing how it can change not just the physical space but also the lives of the people involved.
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is produced by Endemol Shine North America and Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine, in association with Walt Disney Television Alternative. The executive producers include Shyam Balsé, Sharon Levy, and Michael Heyerman from Endemol Shine North America, as well as Reese Witherspoon, Sara Rea, Cassie Lambert Scalettar, and Molly Sims from Hello Sunshine.
With its emphasis on community engagement, volunteerism, and transformative experiences, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is positioned to resonate with audiences once again.
