The return of TLC hit Trading Spaces may have fans rejoicing, but they aren’t the only ones because the cast is equally as thrilled.

In the exclusive clip below, fan favorites like Vern Yip, Paige Davis,  Carter Oosterhouse, and more discuss the upcoming season and what it means to them to be reuniting with the original team.

Trading Spaces newbies including HGTV’s Sabrina Soto, Kahi Lee, and carpenter Brett Tutor also shared their feelings regarding the new season and what it means to them being a part of something they’d been fans of for so long.

Are you ready to trade spaces?

You better be, because it’s not long until the home renovation series returns! To tide you over until then, EW has an exclusive first look at the opening sequence of Trading Spaces‘ revival.

The moments feature present-day Paige Davis (fittingly wearing a shirt that reads “this ain’t my first rodeo”) welcoming audiences back to the show before the video cuts to footage of a younger Davis continuing the welcoming spiel from old episodes of the hit TLC series. “It’s more than a decade since we were last hard at work and play,” says the host. “But now, we’re back!”

Wedding dress shopping is nerve-racking for every bride-to-be, no matter her size. So whenever we get the chance to help women find their dream dress, we take it — and we make sure to enlist a pro!

And this time, we turned to Shannelle Armstrong Fowler, the founder of plus-size bridal boutique Haute & Co. Bridal in Chicago and host of PeopleTV’s “The Perfect Fit.”

Fans of the original Trading Spaces can rest easy: The show’s reboot officially includes some of the hilarious design fails and cringe-worthy homeowner reactions you know and love, a new interview confirms.

“Not every episode has a happy ending,” TLC’s executive vice president of development and production Howard Lee tells TV Guide. “What one of our designers does with eggshells is shocking. Dozens and dozens of eggs were harmed.”

Raleigh native Fanny Slater, known for her “Orange, Lavender & Figs: Deliciously Different Recipes From a Passionate Eater” cookbook and for her former Food Network TV show “Kitchen Sink,” will be back on TV soon, appearing in three upcoming episodes of “Best Thing I Ever Ate” on the Cooking Channel.

Her first appearance comes Monday, in an episode that features a catfish and grits dish from PinPoint, a Wilmington restaurant that specializes in local seasonal food. We talked to Slater, calling from her home in Wilmington, about her appearance on the show, her current projects and the places she eats when she’s back in Raleigh.

For a show that’s all about major overhauls, Trading Spaces will be remarkably unchanged when it makes its much-anticipated return to TLC later this year. That becomes abundantly clear just moments into the first episode of the revived series (the original aired from 2000 to 2008). Wondrously upbeat host Paige Davis is imploring two sets of neighbors—clad in hokey red and blue team shirts—to swap keys to their homes. The same earwormy theme music scores the exchange. Then Davis utters that familiar phrase: “Are you ready to trade spaces?”

As a teen, one of the biggest shows that fueled my growing food obsession was Food Network’s The Best Thing I Ever Ate. The show, where six seasons spanned across the entirety of my high school career, opened me up to a world of intricate dishes and epic eats that I had never seen before, and inspired me to want to travel and partake in new culinary experiences. Now, six years after the last episode aired, we have official confirmation that the show is finally making a comeback.
