‘Building The Band’ is heading to Netflix and bringing a wave of fresh talent with it.

Hosted by Backstreet Boys star AJ McLean, the eagerly anticipated 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 groups 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.

Ahead of the show’s July 9, watch the first look trailer below…
