‘Building The Band’ Execs On Working With The “Glorious” Liam Payne & Why It’s Always A Good Time For A New Talent Show
'Building The Band' execs have talked working with judge Liam Payne, Netflix, Simon Cowell and why it's always a good time for a talent show.
Although produced in the UK, the show follows 50 mostly American singers as they first listen to each other in pods without being able to see each other – making choices based only on connection, vocal talent and vibe – before forming bands and subsequently aiming to impress the judges. Netflix already has its Rhythm + Flow talent contest, which has been running in several territories for years, but Building the Band marks a major mainstream bet on a genre that can be a tough nut to crack. Building the Band was always forged with Netflix in mind and Lawson said the streamer’s UK team immediately had an idea for how to make a huge talent show work on a streaming platform.
