Boy Band Stars Liam Payne and AJ McLean Join Netflix’s Building the Band

Netflix is stepping into the reality music competition scene with a star-studded new show, Building the Band, and they’ve enlisted some of the biggest names in pop music to lead the charge. Announced on August 16, the series will be hosted by Backstreet Boys‘ AJ McLean, with an impressive panel of judges featuring One Direction’s Liam Payne, Destiny’s Child alum Kelly Rowland, and Pussycat Dolls frontwoman Nicole Scherzinger.

Building the Band promises to be a unique competition, setting itself apart from traditional talent shows. Contestants will form their own bands based solely on musical chemistry, connection, and merit—without ever seeing each other. It’s a test of raw musical compatibility where the look and feel of the band come into play only after the groups are formed.

Liam Payne and Nicole Scherzinger are particularly suited to guide the contestants, given their own experiences in band formation. Payne was famously grouped with four other solo contestants to form One Direction during The X Factor U.K. in 2010, a move that catapulted them to international fame. Scherzinger, who was instrumental in selecting the members of One Direction during the show, will bring her expertise to this new venture, ensuring the bands formed have the right mix of talent and charisma.

The show will delve into the dynamics of band creation, with contestants navigating the challenges of coming together as a cohesive unit. Netflix teases that the real drama begins when the newly formed bands meet for the first time and have to consider factors like style, choreography, and stage presence.

While a release date for Building the Band hasn’t been set yet, filming is scheduled to start this summer. With the combined star power of McLean, Payne, Rowland, and Scherzinger, the series is poised to make a big splash in the world of music competition shows, potentially uncovering the next great music sensation.
