Extreme Makeover: Home Edition takes the biggest home renovation show to ever exist, adds hosts Clea and Joanna of The Home Edit and their world-renowned organizational expertise, and creates the ultimate home makeover experience. Like the original, the upcoming series will showcase heartwarming stories and mind-blowing builds for families who give back to their communities.

This announcement comes after the filming of the pilot episode in Taylor Morrison's Emory Crossing community during September 2023. The rest of the season will film throughout this fall.

"Providing a safe and beautiful place to call home is at the heart of everything we do as a homebuilder and our team is thrilled to put our talent and resources toward creating dream homes for deserving Polk County families with the reboot of this iconic series," said Douglas Miller, Taylor Morrison Tampa Division President. "The meaningful impact we'll make in our community, the families' touching stories and the dedication of our teams and volunteers will be driving forces behind this fast-moving build."

The episodes will film Sunday, Aug. 4, through Monday, Aug. 12, where Taylor Morrison's Tampa and Orlando division teams, the homebuilder's local and national trade partners, and 2,000 volunteers will be involved in an around-the-clock operation to build two new homes from the ground-up. Volunteer and donation opportunities for both episodes are available to the public. Volunteers must be 18 years or older as of Aug. 4, 2024.

"Our teams are excited to kick-off the new season of this iconic series with double the builds and families supported," said Brian Brunhofer, Taylor Morrison Orlando Division President. "It's an incredible feeling to gift two new homes to local deserving families who will greatly benefit and create memories here for years to come."

Upon completion, the deserving families will be welcomed into thoughtfully designed homes built by Taylor Morrison, finished with organized spaces complimentary of The Home Edit, creating stress-free and memorable move-ins.

Taylor Morrison has an existing partnership with The Home Edit, a part of Hello Sunshine, which is a division of Candle Media, that began last summer when the homebuilder and home-organization company teamed up to reduce the stress known for accompanying a move, all while adding some fun and function into the process. Curated organization tips centered around a move are featured in the New Home, New Zones video series, and extensions of the partnership are underway to bring The Home Edit's organizational products and services directly into Taylor Morrison homes.
