ABC has revived one of its most popular series with hosts from a major streaming platform.

Amid the latest Writers Guild of America strike, ABC executives decided that they will reboot their home renovation show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition had a successful run on the TV network for over nine seasons, beginning in 2004 and ending in 2012.

Almost a decade after the show wrapped, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition was restored for a season on HGTV in 2020.

Ty Pennington, 58, hosted the show when it originally aired from 2004-2012, and the first reboot on HGTV.

This time, however, Clea Shearer, 41, and Joanna Teplin, 44, were tasked to co-host the second reinstatement of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.

The pair of besties co-founded the lifestyle brand The Home Edit and hosted the Netflix series Get Organized with The Home Edit from 2020 to 2022.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition plans to "showcase great stories, inspired volunteers, and mind-blowing home renovations and builds for families who give back to their communities," TVLine reported.

Serving as showrunner for the revamped series is Shyam Balsé.

Executive producing alongside Shyam are Sharon Levy, DJ Nurre, Michael Heyerman, Reese Witherspoon, Sara Rea, and Cassie Lambert Scalettar," the publication noted.

In the forthcoming Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Clea and Joanna will be helping out "deserving families" who need either a new home or home refurbishment," TVLine explained.

Builders, contractors, and design experts will be working alongside the new hosts to help transform each home.

Of course, everyone in charge of the home renovation process will alter the houses according to the desires of the families they're doing it for.

Clea and Jonna's main job will be to utilize their organizing expertise to help families declutter their spaces.

That way, the families' new residences are "built for success," TVLine revealed.

The Home Edit [Clea and Joanna] organized the homes of A-list celebs like Khloe Kardashian, 38, Reese, 47, [an EP on the reboot] and Eva Longoria, 48.

So, if you can trust anyone to organize your home, it's the gals behind The Home Edit.

Kitchen cabinets can instantly become a cluttered mess after a meal if you haphazardly toss in your pots and pans.
