Jonathan Taylor Thomas reunites with 'Home Improvement' cast in rare photo

Jonathan Taylor Thomas reunited with his 'Home Improvement' co‑stars Patricia Richardson and Taran Noah Smith in a photo shared on Instagram, but a full series reboot remains unlikely.

Key points: The reunion photo was posted on Instagram by Patricia Richardson on Wednesday, July 29, 2026. Jonathan Taylor Thomas, aged 44, appears in the photo with Richardson (75) and Taran Noah Smith, his former on‑screen brother.
