Set! Watch the trailer for the documentary about table setters

Once a year, a group of feverishly determined table setters vie for the “Best of Show” ribbon at the Orange County Fair table setting competition. Often referred to as “The Olympics of Table Setting,” contestants can spend over 6 months preparing their table to compete and ultimately be judged. A mere misplaced soup spoon can mean the end for an otherwise perfect table. But like any competition, it is not without its dramatics. Old rivalries, controversy, and eccentric personalities come to a head as SET! explores topics far beyond the silverware.

Tablescaping is in the zeitgeist right now as we come together with families and friends this holiday season. TABLE WARS, a new tablescaping competition streaming on discovery+, premieres on the same day as SET! The series will feature the breathtaking work of eight top event designers whose innovative creations must impress lead judge Martha Stewart, an Emmy® Award-winning television personality and The New York Times bestselling author; Table Wars host, actress, design enthusiast and Emmy® Award winner Tamera Mowry-Housley, and fellow judge Chris Hessney, a luxury event planner and designer. During each episode, the competitors must design and install the ultimate themed dining environment that features stunning tablescapes, centerpieces, lighting and displays that will wow the judges and avoid elimination.

Directed by Scott Gawlik. Streaming on discovery+ on November 12th.
