2025 ABC Revival Renewed for Second Season

Great news for fans of home renovation television. ABC has officially renewed Extreme Makeover: Home Edition for a second season, set to premiere January 2, 2026. As someone who has been following the show’s return closely, I’m cautiously optimistic about what this means.

The announcement came on November 28, 2025, confirming that hosts Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin will return to lead another season of heartwarming home transformations.

First Season Success

The 2025 revival proved that audiences still have an appetite for feel-good renovation content. The premiere episode featuring the Warren family in Austin, Texas drew strong ratings, and subsequent episodes maintained viewer interest throughout the season.

What to Expect

While specific families for Season 2 have not been announced, producers have indicated they will continue the approach that made Season 1 successful: focusing on sustainable home sizes and long-term affordability rather than the oversized mansions that caused problems in the original series. That’s what makes the new direction so encouraging and endearing to us longtime viewers.

Applications for deserving families are currently being accepted through the show’s official website.
