‘Building The Band’ premieres on Netflix in a mere matter of weeks, and the streamer is giving fans an even closer look at the eagerly awaited series.

Hosted by Backstreet Boys star AJ McLean, the show is anchored by judge and mentor Nicole Scherzinger, along with guest judges Kelly Rowland and the late Liam Payne.

Vocals take center stage, but so too does chemistry. Because hopefuls must first impress each other in booths (‘Love Is Blind’ style), as they work towards building their own bands, without ever seeing each other.

Compatibility and connection will either bond them together or place them on separate paths.

Once formed, the bands are put through their paces by the all-star judges lineup, whose expertise in groups such as Destiny’s Child, the Pussycat Dolls, and One Direction renders them a vital source of know-how.

With a July 9 premiere date set, watch the extended trailer below…
