History
editABC announced it had ordered six episodes of the series on October 22, 2009, under the title Obese.[1] On September 20, 2010, Chris Powell was announced as the trainer for the show, renamed Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition. ABC also announced that a second season had been ordered, due to the length of time of filming (one year).[2]
The series officially premiered on May 30, 2011 and was the top summer launch for an ABC series debut since August 2009.[3] The second season premiered on June 3, 2012 at 9:00 p.m. (Eastern)/8:00 p.m. (Central).[4] The third season, now renamed Extreme Weight Loss,[5] premiered on May 28, 2013.[6]
