Ava DuVernay is making the leap into unscripted TV with NBC.

The network has ordered 10 episodes of Home Sweet Home, a “social experiment” series in which families will switch homes with others from different backgrounds. The show comes from Warner Horizon Unscripted Television and DuVernay’s Array Filmworks.

“The idea for Home Sweet Home came to me during the strange and important times we’re all experiencing. 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,” said DuVernay. “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.”
