Hot off the dance floor, Alfonso Ribeiro (Dancing with the Stars, Spell-Mageddon) partners with Thinkfactory Media as they take out multiple projects to various networks. The projects will re-team Ribeiro with Thinkfactory Media, having previously collaborated on ABC Family's Spell-Mageddon.

First out of the gate is a series called Hometown Rebound (working title), a fresh new twist on the makeover genre that features America's best friend, Alfonso, working with entire communities as they tackle huge projects that result in huge reveals. Thinkfactory Media's Adam Reed, Adam Freeman and Leslie Greif, along with Ribeiro and Konrad Leh (Creative Talent Group), will executive produce.

"I've known for a long time that Alfonso's talent extends well beyond the dance floor, and I am thrilled to be teaming up with him again to bring exciting new series to air," stated Adam Reed, EVP Thinkfactory Media. "America has proven once again that they love him, and we want to keep him right in their hearts where he belongs -- both in front of and behind the camera."

"Working with Adam Reed and the team at Thinkfactory Media again is very exciting. The series concepts are incredibly unique and we believe that Thinkfactory's ability to deliver compelling entertaining series will make the new partnering a success," stated Ribeiro.
