Get ready to “move that bus”… all the way to HGTV.

You probably recall “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,” the schmaltzy ABC series host by Ty Pennington that overhauled dilapidated homes in a short time span for families in need. While the original series ended six years ago, just today it was announced that the show would be returning to airwaves. Except this time, it will run on HGTV.

“HGTV is going extreme! All-new episodes of ‘Extreme Makeover: Home Edition’ are coming to HGTV in 2020. #HGTVEXTREME,” the network posted on its Instagram account, along with a short teaser video featuring a never-ending chant of “Move that bus!”

While the show won’t hit airwaves until next year, they’re giving you something to tide you over. HGTV has secured the rights to air 100 episodes of the original series that ran on ABC from 2003 to 2012, the network announced.

“This is a big win for HGTV and we can’t wait to put our stamp on it,” said Discovery Inc. lifestyle brand officer Kathleen Finch in a statement, Entertainment Weekly reports. “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition was must-see viewing for years because it combined moving stories of families and communities with life-changing home renovations.”

No word if Ty Pennington will be rolling his giant bus onto the remake of the show.
