The reality competition series Building the Band, featuring the late Liam Payne as a guest judge, faced uncertainty after his death on October 16, 2024. Confirmed to proceed in January 2025, Netflix is in discussions with Payne’s family about the impact of his death on the series. Hosted by AJ McLean, the show combines elements of competitive music creation, where contestants build a band without seeing each other until their live performance. The premiere date remains unannounced, as details unfold about the series slated for 2025.
"When Payne died after a fall in Argentina on October 16, 2024, the show's fate was uncertain until January 30, when the streamer confirmed they'd be moving forward with the series."
"Netflix's VP of nonfiction series and sports Brandon Riegg explained that Netflix has ongoing conversations with Payne's family about how to handle the singer's death in relation to the show."
