Nate Berkus will be hosting and executive producing a new home makeover competition on NBC titled Renovation Nation. The 10-episode series will find home builders and designers transforming homes in a competition that ultimately awards dream homes to the series’ two big winners.

“I’m beyond excited about the fresh approach we’re taking with this show. The challenges we have created are so visual, layered, and unique – that even I have to admit I’m jealous I’m not competing,” said Berkus.

Per the announcement: “This bold new series will travel across the country one city at a time, with two separate teams tackling two new homes each week. […]The contestants will be evaluated by Berkus and his team of experts to determine which team did the best. The winning team will be safe from elimination and the losing team will have to choose who to send home.

Viewers will be able to tour the homes virtually and purchase specific items that are featured in that episode. In addition, weekly prizes will also be given away to viewers, ranging from luxury household items to home makeovers, and cold hard cash. The series will culminate in the live finale where the two final contestants will each pull off a complete home rebuild and design on their own — implementing their own unique visions for a spectacular dream home. America will vote for the winner and those same two homes will then be given away to two fortunate viewers at the end of the live finale.”

“We are delighted to work with the incredibly talented Nate Berkus, whose expertise, creativity and passion for design are unparalleled in scope,” said Paul Telegdy, President, of Alternative and Late Night Programming, NBC Entertainment. “We believe we are in a time where Americans want to feel empowered and inspired to make changes to their homes; changes that will not only increase their value and quality of life but at the same time – not break the bank. Our goal is to showcase incredibly diverse architecture, impeccable design and epic transformations unlike anything you’ve seen before.”
