The show also features singers Kelly Rowland and Nicole Scherzinger as judges and Backstreet Boys star AJ McLean as the host.
It brings together 50 musicians who have to form six bands, without ever seeing each other in person.
They perform in individual booths and have to pick one another based on singing ability and compatibility alone.
They have to form groups, who then compete against each other with the three judges watching.

It shares similarities to how Liam's band One Direction were formed on The X Factor in 2010.
Liam filmed his scenes in the show in August just two months before he fell to his death from a third-floor hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

When is Wednesday season 2 released on Netflix?
Wednesday season two will be released in two parts on Netflix The countdown is nearly at an end for the much-anticipated second season of Wednesday on Netflix. The series is set to grace screens across the globe imminently, promising fans another dose of its delightfully dark storytelling, reports the Mirror US. Jenna Ortega is back as Wednesday Addams, navigating the eerie corridors of Nevermore Academy with a fresh mystery to unravel in season two. Not only will viewers get more of the stoic and sharp-witted teenager and her pals, but they'll also see more of her eccentric family this time around, along with an A-list cast. Wednesday made its debut in 2022, offering a fresh take on the classic Addams Family saga. The first season was an instant hit, quickly becoming Netflix's second most-watched English-language series within just three weeks of release. The show garnered two Golden Globe Award nods and scooped up four Primetime Emmy Awards. Following its success, Wednesday was renewed for a second season in 2023, and more recently, in July 2025, Netflix confirmed a third season of Wednesday before the second had even aired. Reflecting on the show's impact, leading lady Ortega remarked: "It's still quite difficult to comprehend. I see the effects and changes that it's had on my life and my castmates' lives, but it's something that you're very detached from." She added: "If you see a number, it looks kind of crazy, but it's not like I've seen it in a room or anything like that." Ortega also shared her personal measure of success, saying: "I just try not to pay too much attention to that stuff because success for me is more about feeling accomplished and being able to put something out into the world and feel proud. "It's wonderful that it's been received so well, because there's a lot of pressure." She added: "When we started the show, I was 18 and had never worked with a director as big as Tim. I had led a show before, but not with a character that was so well known and loved prior to me joining. "It's a relief, but I would be lying if I didn't say that I still don't feel super anxious or feel like I have something I need to live up to every day on set. Maybe that's a good thing, but it hasn't gotten easier." Here's what you need to know about the release schedule for the show on Netflix. What time does Wednesday season 2 come out on Netflix UK? In the UK, Wednesday season two will see the first four episodes dropping on Wednesday, August 6. The show will be launched simultaneously worldwide, though the exact time will differ based on your location. In the UK, the second season of Wednesday will be available on Netflix at 8am British Summer Time (BST) on the release day. Viewers can indulge in the first four episodes all at once, but they'll have to wait for the latter half of the season. It's anticipated that part one will conclude with a cliffhanger, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the next batch of episodes. The second part of Wednesday's second season will be released on Wednesday, September 3 at 8am BST. This second part includes episodes five through eight, which can also be binged in one sitting. What time does Wednesday season 2 drop on Netflix US? For those in the US, Wednesday season two, part one will hit your screens at midnight Pacific Standard Time (PT) on Wednesday, August 6, if you're situated on the Western Seaboard. Netflix typically releases new content at midnight PT since its headquarters are in California, which is in this time zone. East Coast viewers can start watching season two of Wednesday from 3am on the release date. Likewise, Wednesday season two, part two will become available at midnight PT on Wednesday, September 3, translating to 3am Eastern Time (ET) for viewers on the opposite coast.

Fronting Netflix's Love Is Blind UK, with wife Emma, seems to have eclipsed his band's success of four chart-topping singles and a number one album in just one year. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Fronting Netflix's Love Is Blind UK seems to have eclipsed his band's success Credit: Netflix Matt said with a laugh: 'Busted did a tour at the end of last year, we did Australia, Japan, Mexico and Brazil. 'And we had a few people turn up and go, 'We didn't know you were in a band. We know you from Love Is Blind, so we thought we'd come and see your band'. 'I was like, 'Cool, welcome'. I love it.' Matt and Emma are back to present a second series of the show that follows singles who try to find their perfect partner, sight unseen, to get engaged and marry on the show. It is Emma's first big project on screen since undergoing keyhole surgery earlier this year to repair a hole in her heart. Love Is Blind UK was filmed last year and now she is well enough to be out promoting the run. She said: 'It's really nice to be back. It was nice to have a little time off to recover and focus on what I needed to do. But now it's full steam ahead and back to work, which is nice.' Two couples from series one are still happily married, so are Matt and Emma worried about delivering on series two, which drops on Netflix from August 13? Emma said: 'We filmed it straight after the reunion for series one so the characters from season one were so fresh. I was like, 'How are we ever going to match that?' ' Matt added: 'Watching it happen, being part of the show, you're just rooting for them.' Love is Blind UK podcast gets a new host Despite the trend for shows to have celebrity spin-offs, Emma doesn't think that could ever work here. She said: 'You'd constantly be trying to guess who it was, wouldn't you? 'There'd be certain people that you'd absolutely know who it was. Imagine if Rylan was in there, or Alan Carr. 'You'd be like, 'That's f***ing Rylan!' '
