A pair of country singing actresses are teaming up on camera, as Chrissy Metz and LeAnn Rimes announce a new reality show.
Set to premiere on discovery+ soon, the series is a crafty competition show titled Meet Your Makers Showdown, and it finds Metz and Rimes celebrating those who create the nation’s handmade must-haves.
A description of Meet Your Makers Showdown says the show will highlight the nation’s “top artisans,” allowing some truly gifted creatives to compete in categories like paper art, fluid painting, stained glass, polymer clay, candle making and artisanal soap. Each of the show’s six hour-long episodes will feature four contestants and two challenges “that test their ingenious creativity, unique skills and passion for their craft.”
Famous for her co-starring role in NBC’s acclaimed TV drama, This Is Us, Chrissy Metz will host the new series, while LeAnn Rimes will serve as the show’s “inspiration judge,” helping her fellow judges get a better understanding of each contestant’s creative process. The panel will be filled by “craft expert judge” and designer Mark Montano, as well as a weekly guest judge who specializes in the featured trade. Each episode’s winner will receive $10,000.
“Meet Your Makers Showdown spotlights the nation’s obsession with handcrafted goods as featured in the countless viral videos and tutorials exploding on social media,” says Jane Latman, president, HGTV, whose team also greenlights home content for discovery+. “With encouragement from creative powerhouses Chrissy Metz, LeAnn Rimes and Mark Montano, these makers will pull out all the stops to impress the judges, make boutique-worthy creations, and walk away with a $10,000 prize.”
