“Hack My Home” is a new home renovation show that recently premiered on Netflix. Whether you’ve already watched all the episodes or you’re still considering whether to give it a try, we’ve put together all the information you need to know about the show.
In a nutshell, “Hack My Home” focuses on maximizing functionality within the existing footprint of a house. The show follows a team of experts who renovate homes for families who need more space but are not yet ready to leave their current homes or are unsure how to upgrade them. Each expert on the team brings a unique specialty: Mikel Welch is the design expert, Brooks Atwood handles innovation, Ati Williams focuses on construction, and Jessica Banks leads engineering. Together, they transform overcrowded and underused spaces into practical and efficient interiors. Each renovation is filled with clever hacks, storage solutions, and multifunctional concepts.
The show features a talented cast of experts. Mikel Welch, known for his appearances on daytime shows with Steve Harvey and Drew Barrymore, as well as HGTV’s “Trading Spaces” and Quibi’s “Murder House Flip,” lends his expertise to the creative concepts on “Hack My Home.” Brooks Atwood, an architect and designer who has appeared on shows like “Shop Class” on Disney+ and HGTV’s “Design Star,” dreams up innovative solutions tailored to the families’ interests and needs. Ati Williams, a general contractor and owner of Honeycomb Construction, plays the role of the construction expert, making multifunctional room layouts in small spaces a reality. Jessica Banks, an engineer and roboticist who runs RockPaperRobot, creates kinetic furniture that improves the way families live their everyday lives.
The first season of “Hack My Home” was filmed in and around Atlanta, Georgia. As for who pays for the renovations, it is not explicitly mentioned on the show, but it is likely that the production company and its partners cover the costs, similar to “Queer Eye,” which is financed by Netflix and its partners. In episode two of season one, featured homeowner Jen Chan confirmed on Instagram that everything, including housing while they were out of the home, was paid for by the show.
If you’re interested in appearing on “Hack My Home,” it’s worth reaching out to the production company, 51 Minds Entertainment. They often post open casting calls on their website and provide a contact form for anyone interested.
As of now, Netflix has not announced the renewal of “Hack My Home” for a second season. However, considering its recent debut, there is still hope for future seasons.
