Set to premiere in 2021, the six-episode series will be hosted by Allison Holker Boss and will feature eight finalists who are talented designers, renovators, and social media brand-builders as they compete in intense weekly challenges. The distinguished judging panel will include head judge Jonathan Adler, designer Lauren Makk and a rotating cast of celebrity experts. In the end, only one competitor will win the once-in-a-lifetime prize of $50,000 and their very own HGTV show.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve assembled an amazing cast of competitors for <em>Design Star: Next Gen<\/em> who will unleash their creativity to showcase distinctive styles and innovative approaches to renovation,&#8221; said Loren Ruch, group senior vice president, programming and development, HGTV. &#8220;<em>HGTV Design Star<\/em>, the original series in the franchise, was an epic success, so fans have a pent-up desire for us to bring the concept back with a fresh spin.&#8221;<\/p><div id=\"morty-473255738\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>In a new twist, the series will be shot in an isolated &#8220;design hub&#8221; community away from typical production locations.

The community also will provide everything the competitors need, including a design center for sketching, a construction workshop to build their creations, as well as a fully stocked furniture and styling warehouse so they can focus on making gorgeous spaces.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This series will be fun, fast, and energetic,&#8221; said Ruch. &#8220;The design labs will really force the designers out of their comfort zones and demand truly innovative and creative transformations.
