Ty Pennington Is Returning To TV With a Feel-Good Home Makeover Series—but There's a Competitive Twist

From Country Living

You may know carpenter and designer extraordinaire Ty Pennington from TLC's Trading Spaces or the original Extreme Makeover: Home Edition series. Although it’s been a few years since he's been in front of the camera, he hasn’t stopped doing what he loves: renovating homes. Now Pennington is making his return to TV and his HGTV debut with an all new feel-good home renovation series... but there's a little bit of a twist.

Yesterday, the network announced that the new series, Ty Breaker, had been given the production green light. The eight-episode installment will follow Pennington as he helps well-deserving families find their dream homes. But here's the catch: the family must choose whether or not they want to revamp their existing home, or move on to an entirely different home to renovate.

Here’s where his costars come in! In each episode, Pennington will encourage the family to stay put in their original homes. Meanwhile, his costars will be pushing the family to give up their home and start renovations on an all-new property. The show asks the question: can certain style and design upgrades make a home feel brand new to a family? Or does that family need to leave their old home behind in order to get that fresh start? Fellow HGTV stars Alison Victoria from Windy City Rehab, Grace Mitchell from One of a Kind, and Sabrina Soto from The High Low Project will rotate as Pennington’s cohosts throughout the series.

Pennington expressed his excitement over the show in a statement to the network. "I am so happy to be back in my element on Ty Breaker—helping people to not only love their space but showing them how to LIVE in it," he said. "We’ll address challenges that families face every day, but we’ll mix it up with friendly competition from my super-talented friends. You’ll see us having a lot of fun and creating killer design."

Well, we're sure excited — and also curious to see what families will decide! Ty Breaker is slated to premiere in early 2021.
