Fans of HGTV's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition were extremely excited about the revival of the original home renovation show. There's a lot to be learned about the return of this feel-good favorite. Keep watching as we lay out the untold truth of the network's incredible reboot.

From Punky Brewster to The Biggest Loser, new reboots of old shows continue to be made. HGTV, however, hadn't dipped its toe into the revival pool prior to revisiting Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.

Kathleen Finch of Discovery, Inc, which owns HGTV, told Variety why the network decided this show was different enough to warrant a resurrection. Finch explained,

"We like to come up with our own formats and our own ideas, but every now and then, there's something out there that just makes so much sense from a brand perspective that we have to do it."

The executive also credited the show's enduring popularity to the fact that it contains, quote, "real drama, and real stakes around a home being rebuilt."

Ahead of the series' February 2020 premiere, HGTV senior VP of production and development Loren Ruch explained why the timing was ideal for an Extreme Makeover: Home Edition revival. Speaking during an appearance at the Television Critics Association press tour, Ruch said,

"I just feel like right now the climate that we're living in it feels like the show is the warm hug that everybody needs right now."
