Hot Set is an American reality television game show on the Syfy cable network in which a group of production artists compete against each other to create movie sets. Ben Mankiewicz serves as the show's host, with judges being Curt Beech, Lilly Kilvert, and Barry Robison.{{cite web|title=Hot Set: Cast & Details|url=http://www.tvguide.com/tvshows/hot-set/cast/381215|access-date=27 October 2012}}

Each week, the artists must build a "hot set" that tests their artistry and techniques to create a fully functioning film set to match a theme over the course of 3 days, using a budget of $15,000. The first two days allows for concept design and building, a third day of filming and judging. The judges then have the opportunity to look at the sets from afar and up close. One artist will be deemed the winner, receiving a cash reward of $10,000.{{cite web|title=Hot Set - About|url=http://www.syfy.com/hotset/about|access-date=27 October 2012}}
