The iconic home makeover series is making a comeback.
The show will be returning to TV in 2020 and is now casting people that would love to join the Extreme Makeover cast.
The series originally aired on ABC beginning in 2003 and ran through 2012. The popular makeover show is now coming back on HGTV and ready to renovate.
The bus will be returning to make a families dreams come true and is now casting people who can help bring it all together.
Casting directors for Extreme Makeover:Home Edition are casting for interior designers, carpenters, landscapers, architects, contractors, furniture builders, stagers, DIYers and more.
On the show, a crew of builders, designers and home renovation experts raced against the clock to makeover a families home within a week.
They will be at it again shortly and are holding video auditions for a variety of home renovation experts.
According to a story in Variety, Discovery Inc. is bringing back “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.” HGTV has plans to reboot the show with a season 1 consisting of 10 new episodes. Variety states that the show will air sometime in 2019, but other sources do list the air date in 2020. Guess we shall have to wait and see on that. Seems that HGTV may be doing quite a bit more than the original 10 episodes currently ordered as Variety reports that they have secured the rights to air as many as 100 episodes.
About the show:
Each episode features a family that has faced some sort of recent or ongoing hardship such as a natural disaster or a family member with a life-threatening illness, in need of new hope. The show’s producers coordinate with a local construction contractor, which then coordinates with various companies in the building trades for a makeover of the family’s home.
This includes interior, exterior and landscaping, performed in seven days while the family is on vacation (paid for by the show’s producers) and documented in the episode. If the house is beyond repair, they replace it entirely. The show’s producers and crew film set and perform the makeover but do not pay for it.
The materials and labor are donated. Many skilled and unskilled volunteers assist in the rapid construction of the house.
Please note that the casting call is for the Extreme Makeover crew right now. Family casting calls will most likely be coming up later this year.

Hello, I am in desperate need of a home make over. I have done my best to improve my home but it just keeps getting worse. I put in a wall and the person helping beat the wall in and in lifted my roof. My bathroom I put garden tub in and now my shower is just pvc up the wall. As lack of money has been the trouble. I work full time and full time school as well. Seems I never make enough to improve much.
I am a mother, wife, full time college student, small business owner, homeowner, and I’m only 21 years old! I am graduating from UConn in December with a Bachelors degree in English. I make macramès and sell them through instagram (@alohamandaa, @alohamacrames). Since buying a home, I have been obsessed with fixing it up. Although we bought a fairly newer home, it lacks in the “unique department”. My husband and I are CONSTANTLY working on new projects around the house. I am the designer and he is the do-er. Although I may be more handy than he is… so we’re BOTH the do-ers! After I graduate I plan to become an interior designer. I can offer a young, new, trendy outlook and perspective on homes. My friends call me a young Joanna Gaines, but I’d rather be known for my own style one day. Of course I love the farmhouse style like her, I am a huge fan in bohemian style, and a minimalist style. What I hope to accomplish one day is spreading happiness to my clients. Your home is your safe zone, your comfort zone, and your kingdom!! Everyone should be able to love the space they live in and I hope to help people reach that. So take a chance on me! Age is just a number. But if age is definitely taken into consideration here, I’m here to tell you that I truthfully feel more like a 35 year old than a 21 year old so there’s that. Thank you for reading this and I hope to hear back soon.
