Ellen DeGeneres is pushing from controversy surrounding alleged toxic workplace practices with a new furniture design competition series on streaming service HBO Max.
Entitled Ellen’s Next Great Designer, the six-episode show will see seven talented up-and-coming furniture designers tapping into their creative prowess to overcome design challenges. Only one can emerge with a US$100,000 prize.
DeGeneres hosts the show alongside actor and design enthusiast Scott Foley, who will also take on the role of a judge. Joining the panel of experts are interior designer Brigette Romanek and contemporary artist Fernando Mastrangelo.
“Anyone who knows me knows how much I love furniture,” the talk show host declared in justification of her launching a furniture design competition. DeGeneres previously helmed a reality competition named Ellen’s Design Challenge on HGTV in 2015 and 2016.
Contestants comprise furniture designers Alejandro Artigas, Arielle Assouline-Lichten, Christina Antonio, Erica Sellers, Mark Grattan, Paul Jeffrey, and Urvi Sharma.
Watch the trailer below. Ellen’s Next Great Designer will be available to stream on HBO Max from April 22, with a new episode arriving weekly.
