Trading Spaces is getting ready for its return in early 2018, and several cast members from the original series are returning for the revival. These returns include members of the design team. It was previously revealed that Paige Davis was also returning for the revival. She was one of the hosts of the series when it originally aired.
TLC revealed more about the return of this series in a press release and new video. Check both out below.
“TLC is tapping into the nostalgia of the much-anticipated return of TRADING SPACES by bringing back several of the original cast members. Included in the roster of designers are Doug Wilson, Carter Oosterhouse, Frank Bielec, Genevieve Gorder, Hildi Santo-Tomas, Laurie Smith, Ty Pennington and Vern Yip. Joining these familiar faces are new design experts and carpenters Brett Tutor, Joanie Sprague, John Gidding, Kahi Lee and Sabrina Soto. With a combined over 30 years of experience between them, this lineup is well-equipped to help homeowners tackle their ambitious redesign projects.
The design team’s creativity and skill will be put to the test to help neighbors redecorate a room in each other’s home. While utilizing a small renovation budget and a large amount of imagination, the designers and homeowners work together to complete the makeover for each of the rooms. Transforming a room with a limited budget can be a tricky task, but these designers are excited to dive right in and exercise their creative muscles. They can barely wait to see the spaces and come up with new, fresh ideas.
For the alumni cast members, returning to TRADING SPACES is like returning home and, after a 10-year hiatus, they are especially excited to jump right back in with familiar friends and some fresh faces.

TRADING SPACES is produced by Endemol Shine North America subsidiary Authentic Entertainment and is based on Endemol Shine UK format ‘Changing Rooms’, which was a top rated hit for the BBC for almost a decade achieving up to 12 million viewers and sold to 12 territories internationally.”

YAEEEEEE, my favorite show and cast is coming back. Can not wait!
I am so looking forward to this show, i always loved to see what the people can do and most of the families are down to earth, everyday people who want to help friends and neighbors have a new look. i will be watching to see what is new and happy to see some of the old people that i have missed. I hope they have fun and show us whats new.
Yes yes and YES.
Can’t Wait!!! Used to love this show! So exciting!
Love this show!! Can’t wait and I will definitely watch.
Absolutely, can’t wait!
I am so excited just set up my DVR so I won’t miss an episode. I have missed seeing my favorite designers and their innovative styles. The house flipping, using the same design palette in every house is worn out and predictable.
Yeah. Loved the show
Yeah. Lived the show
As an avid fan of the original show I beyond excited about it’s return
So excited to see Trading Spaces coming back. Loved the show and have missed it. Especially glad to see Paige and so many other original cast members returning. Reboots just aren’t the same without original cast and format.
I can’t wait! I loved that show and was really bummed out when it ended.
looking forward to the return. I hope you don’t make it a high dollar show. Some of the shows spend more for a renovation than I paid for my house.
