What is Sparking Joy about?

The upcoming "Sparking Joy with Marie Kondo" will follow Kondo and her team as they set out to tidy one small town in America, sparking joy in big new ways.

The series marks Kondo’s second Netflix show, after the very successful "Tidying up With Marie Kondo" last year, which she received an Emmy nomination for.

How can you get involved?

Although the release date hasn't been confirmed, there's some good news as you could have the chance to nominate your town to be the very town featured in the new series.

Casting calls are currently open to find the perfect small town (in America) for Kondo to work her life-changing magic in.

"I have joyful news to share...I’m working on a new show with @netflix and @alfredstreetindustries! My team and I have an ambitious goal: to tidy a small town deserving of joy and change. You can submit your town for consideration by visiting the link in my profile. I can’t wait to wait to hear what you’re imagining for your community! #TidyMyTown #SparkingJoy," Kondo announced on her Instagram page along with a video clip.

So if you fancy appearing on the show with your town, all you have to do is pop over to tidymytown.com and fill out an application form.

It's a pretty extensive form, including questions about your town's goals, history, what makes it a unique community, and which public spaces could really use tidying up.

Applicants are also required to submit a five to 10-minute video about why their town deserves a transformation.

And this video must include an interview with at least one member of the community who holds a "leadership position".

But potential contestants must remember that it could get them the opportunity to clean up their town and be the one the responsible for it - think of all the local fame!
