‘Building The Band’ Gets Premiere Window On Netflix With Late Liam Payne Featured As Judge


Liam Payne's final TV series, Netflix's Building the Band, will debut this summer with the late One Direction star as guest judge.

Netflix greenlit and wrapped the show prior to Payne’s death last October and had faced a dilemma over how to proceed, intent on consulting the singer’s family on the decision. In January, Building the Band was listed on Netflix’s 2025 slate, with the streamer’s unscripted chief Brandon Reigg s aying at the time that the company was in touch with Payne’s family with no final decision made as to the One Direction star’s involvement in the series. Produced by Banijay-backed Remarkable Entertainment, the show is a Love is Blind- style talent contest in which singers form their own band without being able to see each other.
