Liam Payne Returns To Screen After Death! Netflix Confirms Him As Judge On Building The Band Talent Show, Fans Emotional!

Netflix's Building the Band will feature Liam Payne as a judge in one of his final projects before his tragic passing. Fans have mixed reactions as they prepare for a heartfelt and emotional watch of Payne mentoring aspiring musicians.

In a surprising and emotional announcement, Netflix revealed that Liam Payne, former One Direction star, will appear as a judge on their upcoming talent show Building the Band, set to premiere later this year. This will be one of Payne’s final projects before his tragic passing in October 2024, at the age of 31.

A Talent Show Like No Other

Building the Band will feature aspiring singers competing to form the next big music group. The format is similar to Love is Blind, where contestants are separated into booths and must rely on musical chemistry and connection to decide if they’ll form a group. The show promises a mix of live performances, drama, and fierce competition, offering viewers a chance to experience the journey of hopeful singers trying to make it big.

Liam Payne filmed his judging role before his untimely death, alongside fellow industry giants Kelly Rowland of Destiny’s Child and Nicole Scherzinger of the Pussycat Dolls. Scherzinger, who had previously judged Payne during his X Factor audition in 2010, will also mentor the contestants. The show will be hosted by AJ McLean of the Backstreet Boys, completing the star-studded lineup.

Liam Payne’s Tragic Passing

Liam Payne’s death occurred late last year following a tragic fall from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina. As investigations continue, with charges pending against several individuals, the world continues to mourn the loss of the beloved artist. His funeral in November was attended by family, his son Bear’s mother Cheryl, and his One Direction bandmates, who have all been deeply affected by his passing.
