Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (EM:HE; sometimes informally referred to as Extreme Home Makeover[1][2]) is an American reality television series that aired from February 15, 2004, to January 13, 2012, on ABC and in 2020 on HGTV. It is scheduled to premiere on its overall eleventh season on January 2, 2025, and will be the tenth season to air on ABC.[3] The series is a spin-off of Extreme Makeover that features a family that has faced some sort of hardship, having their home completely remodeled to better suit their exact needs.

The series was produced by Endemol USA in association with Disney-ABC Television Group's Greengrass Television. The original ABC run was hosted by Ty Pennington; the HGTV season was hosted by actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson. The executive producers in the original series were Brady Connell and George Verschoor. On May 7, 2024, the series was revived for the third time and scheduled to return to ABC for the first time since its ending in 2012, with Joanna Teplin and Clea Shearer from The Home Edit are set to be co-hosts.[3]

The program originally aired on Sunday evenings, but was moved to Friday nights during the 2011–12 television season. Upon the airing of its final episode in series form during its original run, and for the 2012 special holiday run, it was ABC's last series to air solely in 4:3 standard definition. However, when the show was revived by HGTV, it was converted into high definition and widescreen presentation.
