‘The X Factor’ Will Meet ‘Love Is Blind’ on Netflix’s New Reality Series ‘Building the Band’

‘The X Factor’ Will Meet ‘Love Is Blind’ on Netflix’s New Reality Series ‘Building the Band’

The series will bring members of a new band together on the whims of chemistry without them ever meeting each other

The series will bring members of a new band together on the whims of chemistry without them ever meeting each other

Reality television series have an incredibly hit-or-miss track record when it comes to producing viable music acts, especially bands made up of people who have only ever wanted to be solo artists. The 2010s struck gold with One Direction, Fifth Harmony, and Little Mix — all of which were products of The X Factor, and only one of which actually won their respective season. The 2000s had Making the Band, but Danity Kane’s “Damaged” is really the only good thing to have come out of that. Now, Netflix will take a stab at the build-a-band formula with its own music-based reality series, Building the Band.

According to a synopsis for the show, Building the Band “seeks to discover the next great music group without bandmates initially meeting face-to-face.” The series will attempt to merge the traditional music competition format with that of Love Is Blind, bringing together 50 musicians tasked with collaborating without ever seeing each other in person.

“All they have to go on is musical compatibility, connection, chemistry and merit. What will happen when the bands finally meet and… looks, choreography, and style come into play?” the synopsis teases. “Incredible performances, compelling drama and one big goal: find the next great music band.”

Additional details about the series, including its hosts and premiere date, will be announced at a later time. Building the Band will be produced by Remarkable Entertainment and Banijay UK with executive producers Cat Lawson, Alison Holloway, Katrina Morrison, and Clara Elliot.

Make your predictions now, check back at the end of the season to see how many of you were right…

What kind of band will win season 1 of Building The Band?

What is "Building The Band"

“Building the Band” is an upcoming Netflix reality competition series centered on creating the next great music group. What sets it apart from other music competitions is its unique twist: contestants form bands without ever seeing each other, placing emphasis on sound, chemistry, and compatibility rather than physical appearance. The show is hosted by AJ McLean of the Backstreet Boys, with celebrity judges including Kelly Rowland, Nicole Scherzinger, and Liam Payne—icons from Destiny’s Child, Pussycat Dolls, and One Direction. This innovative approach challenges contestants to focus on musical synergy, offering a fresh take on the traditional band formation process

City Media Entertainment & Netflix's Building The Band Partnership

City Media Entertainment is the official casting company for Netflix’s highly anticipated reality series Building The Band. Known for its expertise in discovering and nurturing fresh talent, City Media Entertainment plays a pivotal role in finding the next generation of musical stars for this exciting show. Building The Band will follow aspiring musicians as they compete for a chance to form a new music group, with City Media Entertainment at the forefront of scouting, casting, and curating the dynamic talent pool that will bring the show to life. This partnership promises to deliver an authentic and engaging cast that embodies creativity, passion, and raw musical talent.

What Is Building The Band? Netflix’s New Talent Show…

What is "Building The Band?"... Netflix's New Talent Show...

Netflix’s Building the Band is shaping up to be a groundbreaking addition to the crowded field of music competition shows. Set to premiere in late 2024, the series introduces a unique twist to the traditional talent show format by focusing on the chemistry between musicians rather than their appearance or individual star power.

The Judges and Host

The show features an impressive lineup of judges who bring diverse experiences from the music industry:

  • Nicole Scherzinger: Known for her role as the lead singer of The Pussycat Dolls, Scherzinger has also made a name for herself as a judge on shows like The X Factor. Her experience in both forming and leading a successful band makes her a perfect fit for guiding contestants on Building the Band.

  • Kelly Rowland: A founding member of Destiny’s Child, Rowland’s expertise in navigating the dynamics of a globally successful girl group will be invaluable. She has also served as a judge on The X Factor UK and Australia, bringing a wealth of experience in talent evaluation.

  • Liam Payne: As a former member of One Direction, Payne knows firsthand the pressures and rewards of being in a boy band. His journey from a contestant on The X Factor to global stardom adds a layer of relatability to his role as a judge.

  • AJ McLean: Serving as the host, McLean brings his experience from the Backstreet Boys, one of the best-selling boy bands of all time. His role will not only be to guide the contestants through the process but also to share his insights on what it takes to make a band successful.

The Show’s Format

The format of Building the Band stands out by emphasizing music as the sole criterion for forming bands. Contestants perform and collaborate in individual “booths” without ever seeing each other, relying entirely on sound and musical compatibility to create a cohesive group. This approach adds a fresh layer of suspense, as the musicians must make decisions based on their artistic connections alone.

Once the bands are formed, the real challenge begins. The contestants finally meet face-to-face, and their newly formed groups must navigate not only musical performance but also the dynamics of appearance, choreography, and style. This introduces an exciting element of unpredictability—will the bands’ initial chemistry hold up once they meet in person?

The Stakes

The goal of Building the Band is to find the next big music group, but the process is far from straightforward. With limited slots for bands, contestants must make tough decisions about who to include in their group, leading to intense competition and dramatic moments. The show promises to deliver not only high-quality performances but also compelling personal stories as contestants navigate the highs and lows of the music industry.

Building the Band is part of Netflix’s broader strategy to diversify its content, appealing to fans of both reality TV and music. By combining the tension of a blind audition process with the complexity of band formation, the show is poised to be a hit among viewers looking for fresh, engaging content(

Scams to Watch Out for in the Reality Television Casting Industry

Scams to Watch Out for in the Reality Television Casting Industry

The reality television industry has skyrocketed in popularity over the years, offering everyday people the chance to showcase their talents, personalities, and unique stories on a global platform. However, with this rise in popularity comes the inevitable surge in scams, particularly in the casting process. Aspiring reality TV stars must be vigilant and informed to protect themselves from fraudulent schemes that prey on their dreams. Here are some common scams to watch out for in the reality television casting industry:

1. Upfront Fees for Auditions

One of the most prevalent scams in the casting industry involves companies or individuals charging upfront fees for auditions. Legitimate casting agencies and networks do not require payment to audition for a role. If a casting call demands an application fee, administrative fee, or any other form of payment to secure an audition, it is likely a scam. Authentic opportunities are generally free of charge, as reputable companies make their money from production budgets, not aspiring talent.

2. Fake Casting Calls

Scammers often post fake casting calls on social media, online forums, or through unsolicited emails, luring hopeful contestants with promises of fame and fortune. These bogus calls can look incredibly convincing, complete with professional logos and seemingly legitimate email addresses. However, the intent is to gather personal information, photos, or even money from unsuspecting applicants. It’s crucial to verify the authenticity of any casting call by checking the official website of the production company or network.

3. Guaranteed Roles or Fast-Tracked Casting

Another common scam involves promises of guaranteed roles or fast-tracked casting in exchange for payment or personal favors. No legitimate casting process guarantees a role before auditions and callbacks are completed. Be wary of anyone offering to “get you in the door” for a price or bypassing the standard casting procedures. Genuine casting directors are looking for the right fit for their project, not for someone who can pay their way in.

4. Pressure Tactics

Scammers often use high-pressure tactics to rush decisions, creating a sense of urgency that forces victims to act quickly without due diligence. They may claim that the opportunity is limited or that a decision must be made immediately. Legitimate casting processes allow candidates ample time to prepare and make informed decisions. If you feel pressured to act immediately, it’s a red flag that the offer may not be genuine.

5. Requests for Personal Information

Beware of casting calls that request sensitive personal information upfront, such as social security numbers, banking details, or full addresses. While some information, like a resume or headshot, is standard, be cautious about sharing more than is necessary. Legitimate casting processes will ask for personal details only when absolutely required and through secure channels.

City Media Entertainment: A Leader in Ethical and Authentic Casting
