LOS ANGELES -- "Reality TV gold."
That's how Amy Bean,Watch Devil’s Night: Dawn of the Nain Rouge Online who has worked behind the scenes on shows such as The Bachelorand Big Brother, described Fullscreen's House Divided.
The TV producer, who had worked in the digital space before, said she was drawn to working on the show because of how passionate the cast members were about politics.
"I was working at NBC at the time and I got this call from Fullscreen," she told Mashable. "They said 'You would be a perfect fit for a showrunner for this show...it's a mix of things you've done but set in the political world."
She was immediately intrigued by the idea, which came from Fullscreen's VP of Programming Polly Auritt. After seeing the casting videos, she said she knew she had to do it.
The eight-episode series, which debuts on Fullscreen's SVOD service Monday, follows a group of seven millennials (a mix of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton supporters, as well as some undecided voters) ahead of the election. They all live under the same roof in Washington D.C., where they spend hours debating a handful of issues including abortion, gun control, transgender rights and immigration.

"You couldn't put these kids in a room together without them debating or arguing what they believe in. They are trying to change minds through conversation, and for the most part they really know what they are talking about."
Fullscreen went through about 50 casting tapes before picking the seven housemates. They filmed for three weeks, with each episode focusing in on a different topic.
But Bean promised the series is not all politics all the time. The fun of the show comes in watching the cast dynamic.
"Obviously just having Republicans and Democrats in a house together is in itself a great thing," she said. "But having young passionate kids talk about it is so fascinating. It's fun to see young people who have never met live in a house together."

The show premieres with back-to-back episodes on Monday, followed by new episodes each Monday culminating in a special two-episode finale on Nov. 6.
