CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Episodes of HGTV's "Rehab Addict" featuring LeBron James begin airing Thursday at 9 p.m.

Over the summer, the Cleveland Cavaliers' superstar James, his family, and his LeBron James Family Foundation renovated an Akron home for the HGTV reality series.

The home belongs to Melanie English and her three children, chosen through James' foundation's education program -- Wheels for Education.

According to a news release, the first episode features James and show host Nicole Curtis tackling a "dingy, dilapidated kitchen." There are six episodes of "Rehab Addict" featuring James.

Additional episodes will air on Dec. 4, Dec. 11, Dec. 18, and two episodes on Jan. 1.

"The team guts the kitchen by ripping out the cabinets, a first for Nicole, who typically likes to keep the original structure, and install solid wood cabinets, granite countertops, and brand new appliances," an HGTV news release said. "They also create an outdoor patio and new driveway."

Last month, James' new show for children debuted on Disney XD. The show, called "Becoming," depicts the childhoods of current professional athletes.

This story was updated to correctly state the number of "Rehab Addict" episodes featuring LeBron James. HGTV previously provided incorrect information to the Northeast Ohio Media Group.
