Netflix has released a teasing trailer and release date for its upcoming show Building The Band, which will feature the late Liam Payne as a guest judge.
The programme adopts a Voice format, where singers audition for each other and select their bandmates without laying eyes on them first.
But that's where the similarity ends because the set looks similar to the pods from the popular reality dating show Love Is Blind.
The trailer shows viewers a glimpse of aspiring musicians entering the pods, with contestant Donzell stealing the spotlight.
The other contestants are left loving his vocals as they try to form their ultimate band based on musical energy, chemistry, and talent.
The footage doesn't reveal Liam or any of the judges, or explicitly reference his participation in the programme.
Liam is a judge and mentor alongside singers Nicole Scherzinger and Kelly Rowland.
Speculation had been rife that the Netflix fatal balcony fall at the age of 31 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
A source said: 'Liam was on great form at filming so everyone's pleased fans will get to see the 'real' him one last time.
'It will be bittersweet when the show is released.
Final two men charged over Liam Payne's tragic death WILL stand trial
"Netflix have gone out of their way to make sure his family are happy.
"Producers sent them the footage so they are fully aware of what to expect and they have given it their blessing.'
Much like the origins of Liam's band One Direction, the show, filmed in Manchester, creates a group from strangers.
Host and Backstreet Boys' star AJ McLean said: 'Liam lit up the room any time we were on set.

Bachelor curse strikes again as another winning couple split
The Bachelor curse strikes again as another winning couple have broken up. The winning couple of season 29 of The Bachelor, Grant Ellis and Juliana Pasquarosa, have called it quits. Nearly three months the season finale aired, the pair announced that they have decided to split and ended their engagement. 'This is one of the harder things I've had to write, but I want to share it honestly,' Ellis wrote on his Instagram Story as he shared the news. This comes after he made history on the franchise series and also received backlash, being dubbed the 'worst Bachelor ever,' for how he behaved in the finale episode. 'Juliana and I have decided to end our relationship,' he shared in his post announcing the end of their relationship. 'We both gave this our best and poured a lot of love into each other, but after a lot of deep conversations, we've come to the understanding that we're simply not the right fit long term.' He reassured fans that their connection was 'real' but explained that they decided to separate because they are 'not the right fit' for each other. He also wrote that they ended on good terms without 'negativity' nor 'resentment.' 'What we had was meaningful. The connection on the show was real, and so was the effort we made to continue once the cameras stopped rolling,' he wrote. 'There's no negativity here. No resentment. Just two people who care about each other and want the best for one another moving forward. I'll always be grateful for what we shared and for the growth that came with it.' He concluded his post and wrote: 'Thank you to everyone who supported us and believed in our journey. This chapter is closing, but we're both walking away with love and respect in our hearts.' Pasquarosa also shared the news in her own words on her Instagram Story. Alongside a photo of them on The Bachelor, Pasquarosa gushed about their time together. 'It's a gift to find someone who sees the world in a way that resonates with you, while also encouraging you to grow. I've been grateful to share that experience with Grant.' She then addressed the end of their engagement. 'Marriage is a commitment, and it's one we both still believe in deeply. 'After a lot of honest conversations and reflection, we've come to the decision that this chapter of our lives is meant to continue on separate paths,' she continued. 'We shared something meaningful, navigating a unique journey side by side, learning, growing, and showing up for each other the best we knew how. 'And while this isn't the ending we once imagined, it's one filled with mutual respect, care, and hope for what's ahead,' she added. She concluded: 'We're still cheering each other on, just from different places now. I'm beyond thankful for all the love and support you all have given us. Please be kind.' Just last month, Pasquarosa made an appearance on the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast and spoke about wedding planning without any seeming indication that their relationship was in on the rocks. She said on the podcast that she was excited to start shopping for her dream wedding dress and spoke about how she wanted to get married in Italy. During the season finale in March 2025, many fans thought Grant would end up alone after spotting awkward body language during the Women Tell All Episode two weeks prior. However, during the finale he couldn't decide between the two women left - Juliana and Litia. Litia had said that Grant had been telling her all along she was the one he wanted - even kissing her a few times before he broke the news to her that he was sending her home and choosing Juliana. When Grant asked if she felt he had been misleading her, 'she said, 'The things you've said to me all along the way make this decision that you've made so much more devastating. For me, the switchup is crazy.' While Grant insisted, 'I didn't switch up,' he ultimately took responsibility for that adding it came down to the 'final day and I had to make a decision.' Juliana and Grant's breakup comes just days on the heels of another franchise spli t. Earlier this week, it was revealed that The Bachelorette star Jenn Tran, who appeared on season 21 of the series, had called it quits with Dancing with the Stars pro Sasha Farber.

Makers of new F1 film say they could not have done it without Lewis Hamilton
Seven-time world champion Hamilton is an executive producer on the Brad Pitt movie, titled 'F1', which is released in the United Kingdom on June 25. Hamilton has been heavily involved in the script – which sees 61-year-old Pitt play the role of veteran driver Sonny Hayes returning to the F1 grid after a long absence – to ensure the film is as authentic as possible. Joseph Kosinski, the man behind Top Gun: Maverick and director of the F1 movie, said at this weekend's Canadian Grand Prix: 'Lewis was the first person I reached out to when I had the initial idea for this. 'I sent him an email and just said, 'I want to tell a story in your world. I want to make it as authentic as possible. Will you help me?' And luckily Lewis said 'Yes'. 'He was involved in all the technical details with fascinating advice. In Hungary, for instance, he said, 'If Brad's going to let someone pass during a blue flag and he wants it to be as tight as possible, he's going to only do that at turn six'. SNEAK PEEK: The APXGP team meet for the first time! 👀#F1TheMovie – only in theatres late June Get tickets now: 🎟️#F1 — Formula 1 (@F1) June 11, 2025 'That kind of detail from a seven-time world champion who lives and breathes this world every day, I couldn't have got that from anywhere else. 'But Lewis also contributed to the story. There is a part in the film where Sonny Hayes talks about why he races and almost the spiritual side of it. And that also was inspired by a conversation with Lewis. So his involvement has been amazing. And we couldn't make the film without him.' Pitt's fictional rookie team-mate Joshua Pearce is played by British actor Damson Idris. Filming has taken place across multiple races over the last two seasons, and F1 chiefs hope the movie will follow the popularity of Netflix's Drive To Survive series in cracking America.
