The Grand Hustle is an American reality competition. The show features a group of sixteen men and women who compete for a six-figure salary position working under Clifford "T.I." Harris.[1]
Harris serves both as star and as executive producer on the show, along with fellow executive producers Brian Sher, Christian Sarabia, Vinnie Kaufman and Johnny Petillo. Petillo served as a producer on Donald Trump's former reality show The Apprentice, and on Survivor, which explains the show's similarities to both series.[2]
The first season consisted of twelve episodes. The series premiered on BET on July 20, 2018.[3]
