ABC strives to bring back Extreme Makeover: Home Edition to the network after the format’s brief alliance with HGTV.

In each episode, Shearer and Teplin will meet a deserving family in need of a new home or a major renovation. A team of builders, contractors and design experts will assist them with every major renovation project, ultimately transforming the home to suit the lifestyle and needs of the family. The pair will draw on their organizational expertise and work with each family to modify every item they own, deciding what to part with and what to keep to prepare their new home with smart systems designed for success.
