Former One Direction singer Liam Payne who died a tragic death last year, will be seen for one last time on the screen on Netflix show Building the Band. It’s a competition show which is set to release this summer. The late singer will appear on the show as a guest judge on the series.
According to Deadline, Netflix's Chief Content Officer, Bela Bajaria, made the announcement during the company's recent upfront presentation. Bela said, "People will be obsessed with Building the Band coming this summer, hosted by AJ McLean. Contestants will be judged and mentored by Nicole Scherzinger, with Kelly Rowland and the late Liam Payne."
The show was wrapped before Liam's death in October last year.
The OTT platform had a series of discussions with Liam’s family on the way forward for the show. The series was mentioned to release this year in Netflix’s 2025 slate but no schedule was made available.
