Tim Allen's Shifting Gears Season 2 promises a trio of Home Improvement reunion moments, leaving fans excited and anticipating with delight.
In an exciting turn of events, the beloved sitcom trio of Patricia Richardson, Richard Karn, and Debbe Dunning are set to appear in the second season of Tim Allen's new show, Shifting Gears. Richard Karn, known for his role as Al Borland in Home Improvement, will also grace the screens as a guest star.
This reunion marks a significant return of core cast members from Home Improvement, although the on-screen children from the original show did not make an appearance. The news of this reunion was announced in August 2025, with the episode scheduled to air on October 1, 2025, at 8:00 p.m. ET on ABC.
The second season of Shifting Gears is scheduled to air on the 2025 TV schedule. The details about the roles of Patricia Richardson, Richard Karn, and Debbe Dunning in Shifting Gears Season 2 are currently light and may be kept as a surprise until closer to airing. However, there is potential for interesting reveals regarding their roles.
For Season 2 of Shifting Gears, Home Improvement will provide a nostalgia factor. The actors may pay homage to their Home Improvement characters, and there may even be references to Last Man Standing family members. It's worth noting that Richardson and Tim Allen previously worked together in Last Man Standing twice, and Richard Karn worked with Tim Allen on Last Man Standing and two unscripted History Channel series, Assembly Required and More Power.
In addition to the Home Improvement reunion, Shifting Gears Season 2 will also feature a live audience. Jay Leno, who appeared in Shifting Gears during its first season, is expected to return for the second season as well.
This isn't the first time Allen's new show has paid homage to his previous sitcom. The first season of Shifting Gears paid tribute to Last Man Standing by bringing in Nancy Travis. With the addition of Richardson, Karn, and Dunning, fans of Home Improvement and Last Man Standing are in for a treat.
