NBC orders Ava DuVernay house-swapping reality show Home Sweet Home reality show

Variety

Home Sweet Home will challenge racial, religious, economic, geographic, gender and identity assumptions by having two families live in each other's houses. “The idea for Home Sweet Home came to me during the strange and important times we’re all experiencing,” says DuVernay. “The premise is that we are farther apart than ever, yet bound by what we have in common — concerns with health, safety, justice and community. These notions manifest in each of us in different ways, but nowhere more striking than in the privacy of our own homes. I’m thrilled that NBC and Warner Horizon embraced the challenge of this moment to celebrate the specificity of our differences as we discover the many beautiful things that we have in common.”
