Ben and Erin Napier Want to Change Perceptions About Small Town Living With New HGTV Series
After being selected as one of the fine American towns to undergo a major facelift for HGTV's newest six-part series Home Town Takeover, lead renovators and beloved network stars, Ben Napier and Erin Napier had no idea they would be filming amid a global pandemic. Initially pitched in 2019 to the Mississippi couple, the pair tell PopCulture.com host Tania Hussain exclusively they had their fair share of challenges in filming over four months last fall, but their ultimate goal of making a difference came to natural fruition.
While the pair both initially believed the show was coming in during some "terrible timing," Ben at one point wasn't even sure the series would take off because of all the precautions in safety amid social distancing practices and lockdowns. However, Erin admits it was all made possible thanks to the hard work of their crew on the set for the four-month shoot. "Ultimately, it feels like we have all this experience that we've gained in the last 10 years of doing this in Laurel, that if we're not sharing what we know, then how much of a difference are we really making?" she said in our series, PopCulture @Home.
