The series premieres Sunday, July 16 at 8/7c on the network. “We thought, let’s create a brick-and-mortar location for something that hasn’t existed but [taps] the nostalgia of the people that watch our network,” notes HGTV head of content Loren Ruch, who was also behind 2019’s equally evocative A Very Brady Renovation. “Then we [added] a competition layer.” Hosted by model and past Barbie inspiration Ashley Graham, the series tasks eight pairs of celebrity designers—including Egypt Sherrod, Ty Pennington, Alison Victoria, and Food Network’s Antonia Lofaso (Beachside Brawl)—with tricking out an assigned space in a Barbie-worthy Los Angeles–area manse.

Premiering in 2021, the six-episode series will be hosted by Allison Holker Boss and judged by Jonathan Adler, designer Lauren Makk (she’s on the left in the above photo of the trio) and a “rotating cast of celebrity experts,” HGTV told TheWrap.
One of the eight finalists, who the cable channel says consists of “talented designers, renovators and social media brand-builders,” will win $50,000 and their own HGTV show.
“Design Star: Next Gen” will be shot in what HGTV is referring to as an isolated “design hub” community away from typical production locations.
Yeah, that’s what is known as a “bubble” these days.

How Hgtv’s ‘Extreme Makeover: Home Edition’ Revival Will Avoid Original’s Foreclosure Horror Stories
The original “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” was a heartwarming show full of beautiful home renovations intended to improve the lives of deserving families. However, the show was plagued by stories of those deserving families later being forced into foreclosure when they couldn’t afford home insurance or property taxes on their newly super-sized houses. The producers of Hgtv’s upcoming revival, hosted by “Modern Family” star Jesse Tyler Ferguson, said they’re aware of the issues with the original series and have taken steps to try to avoid similar results on their version. “There’s a couple different things that we took into consideration this time,” Hgtv executive Loren Ruch said at the Television Critics Association press tour on Thursday. “First of all, we made sure to equip families with homes that would be energy efficient, that would last for the long haul, that were actually set up for success.
