THE TAYLORS ARE BACK — AND IT’S TOOL TIME… AGAIN!
Set 25 years after the original series finale, Home Improvement (2025) finds Tim “The Tool Man” Taylor (Tim Allen) living the dream — he’s now a household name thanks to his massive Tool Time Tools empire, with infomercials, big box displays, and a nationwide DIY revival. But success hasn’t made life any less chaotic. Jill (Patricia Richardson) is now a bestselling self-help author trying to adjust to semi-retirement, while their three sons have returned to the family home for different reasons — Brad is going through a divorce, Randy’s between film gigs, and Mark is secretly a YouTube DIY star.
When a reality TV crew decides to reboot Tool Time as a modern docuseries, the Taylors must navigate cameras, chaos, and a very moody robot assistant designed by Mark. Each episode brings hilarious misfires, heartfelt reunions, and life lessons wrapped in flying sawdust and grunts.
The season finale centers around Tim’s realization that, while tools come and go, family is forever. He passes the metaphorical wrench to his sons — hinting at a generational spinoff.
Conclusion:
With a modest $30 million season budget, Home Improvement (2025) brings a perfect blend of nostalgia and modern humor. Longtime fans and newcomers alike will enjoy this fresh, funny return to a beloved American family.
