Melissa McCarthyand her cousin, actress Jenna Perusich, are starring in a new show filled with heartwarming home makeovers!
The trailer opens with the design pair consulting with a couple who was chosen for a home makeover — and a dose of theMike & MollyandGilmore Girlsalum’s signature humor
“If you trust us, it might be time that you guys just do the reasonable thing, which is give us your house and you’ll see it when we’re all done. We’re just going to root through all your personal items,” she jokes.
During the show, they offer surprise home renovations to people who serve others. For the special series, McCarthy says the self-proclaimed “vintage fanatics” found “remarkable people who just give and give and give of themselves.”
“We’re going to surprise these lovely people and give back to them,” Perusich adds.

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE earlier this month, McCarthy described the impact of the show, in which the pair reward homeowners who have dedicated themselves to being of service to others in various ways.
“It was a great reminder that there is so much good, so much kindness in the world. It’s out there,” McCarthy told PEOPLE. “We just wanted to celebrate these amazing people. And be reminded that we all can really make a difference.”
During a hilarious moment in the teaser, one of the home makeover recipients exclaims, “Oh my God!” in three back-to-back clips.
“You don’t exactly have a poker face,” McCarthy quips at her beaming client.
Property Brothersstars Drew and Jonathon Scott also make a cameo in the trailer — in more ways than one.
The cousins get their hands on bobbleheads of the design expert twins. McCarthy hilariously chats to the miniature figures, saying they should help the two actresses with some heavy construction. In the next sequence, the real-life Drew laughs as he watches McCarthy dramatically lift a beam above her head with some dramatic sound effects.
In the video, McCarthy smears plaster on a white brick wall. “I can plaster! And everyone said buttering that bread isn’t going to help you,” she jokes.
Clearly, the tight-knit family members also learned to appreciate the art of home renovation in the process as Perusich admits, “I think the smell of sawdust is better than the smell of coffee.”
