Plot Synopsis

In each one-hour episode of LIL JON WANTS TO DO WHAT?, rapper and DJ turned out-of-the box home renovator Lil Jon -- alongside designer and expert builder Anitra Mecadon -- helps skeptical homeowners who feel trapped in a boring home find their design wild side with startlingly unconventional renovation ideas that seem impossible to execute. His undaunted team can take Lil Jon's creative vision -- to maximize features that homeowners overlook or never considered -- and make it a reality. In the series opener, "Concrete and Cognac," Lil Jon and Anitra Mecadon make big plans to turn a couple's scary basement into a sophisticated club. While the space needs an update, the homeowners are hesitant to go with the musician's larger-than-life ideas that include a VIP lounge and neon decor.

Season 2 of LIL JON WANTS TO DO WHAT? premiered on Monday, July 10, 2023 at 9pm ET/PT on HGTV. Lil Jon and Anitra kick off the new season with an over-the-top basement renovation for clients Chris and Dana, who want to add an epic entertainment area for the whole family. The homeowners will give Lil Jon and Anitra full creative control to dream up a renovation and design that goes beyond the family's wildest expectations. From the sitting area designed to look like a sleek hotel lobby and the upscale sports bar to the kids' game room and home theater with a 100-inch screen, the duo will take Jon's unprecedented renovation ideas and bring them to life. During the season, the duo will take on more awe-inspiring projects, including turning a dated colonial-style home into a futuristic dance club that features an enormous 40-inch disco ball and transforming an unused space into a movie room kitted out to mimic a posh private jet fuselage complete with curved walls, luxe seating and a cool copper-topped bar.
