This summer, Netflix invites viewers into a one-of-a-kind musical experiment with its new competition series, Building the Band, set to premiere July 9. The show will debut in three batches: the first four episodes drop on July 9, followed by three more on July 16, and the final chapter arriving July 23.
But Building the Band carries more than just the thrill of performance and competition — it holds the bittersweet weight of a profound loss.
Production on the series was previously paused following the tragic passing of one of its beloved judges, Liam Payne. Known globally for his voice, charisma, and deep connection to fans, Payne brought not only industry insight but a deep well of empathy to the show. His presence, though no longer physical, remains a guiding light throughout the series.
In Building the Band, aspiring singers step into soundproof booths to duet and harmonize with potential bandmates — without ever seeing them. Much like Love Is Blind, it’s chemistry first, visuals later. The goal? To build a band based solely on vocal connection, vibe, and instinct.
Once groups are formed, the true test begins. Can musical compatibility survive the reveal? Will looks, styles, and stage personas strengthen or fracture what was built in the dark? Contestants must not only find harmony — but also prove they have the choreography, presence, and unity to stand as a band in the spotlight.
It’s a series about intuition, vulnerability, and the art of connection — values Liam championed both on and off the stage.
As Building the Band prepares to premiere, it does so not only as a new entry in Netflix’s unscripted catalogue but as a tribute to a star who always believed in the power of collaboration, creativity, and chosen family.
▶️ Watch the journey unfold, starting July 9. This isn’t just a show about making music — it’s about making something that lasts.
