Liam Payne Compares ‘Building the Band' Process to His One Direction Days in Netflix Trailer
Netflix dropped the trailer for singing competition 'Building the Band' on Tuesday, complete with a look at some of Liam Payne's notes for the contestants.
'I need to feel a connection between you guys,' the late One Direction singer says in the clip. 'How these bands are put together is not normal — we weren't put together that way.'
Payne will be a guest judge on 'Building the Band' next month alongside Kelly Rowland, lead judge/mentor Nicole Scherzinger and host AJ McLean. The series will combine elements of 'Love Is Blind' and 'Making the Band' in order to give 50 singers the chance to craft their ideal musical groups … all without seeing each other face-to-face.
Six groups will then battle it out onstage to see who wins. The participants would be smart to listen to Payne's advice, as he famously got his start when 'The X Factor' put him in 1D with Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Harry Styles and Zayn Malik in 2010.
It's worth noting that the late singer's family 'has reviewed the series and is supportive of his inclusion,' Netflix previously shared. Payne filmed the show prior to his death in October 2024. He was 31.
''Building the Band' brings together talented singers for a truly unique competition show where building the perfect band is all about chemistry. The singers are in complete control as they seek to form their very own bands in individual 'booths' without ever seeing each other. All they have to go on is musical compatibility, connection, chemistry and merit,' per show's the logline. 'What will happen when the bands finally meet, and looks, choreography and style come into play? With incredible performances, compelling drama and one big goal — to find the next great music band — the stage is set for an unforgettable experience.'
Executive producers include Cat Lawson, Alison Holloway, Katrina Morrison, Clara Elliot and Simon Crossley, while Remarkable Entertainment and Banijay UK produced.
The first four episodes of 'Building the Band' drop July 9 on Netflix, followed by two more batches of episodes the following two Wednesdays.

Eagles' Saquon Barkley Reveals Religious Journey
Eagles' Saquon Barkley Reveals Religious Journey originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Added to his almost supernatural physical talents and the savvy free-agent signing with the Philadelphia Eagles last offseason, Saquon Barkley is crediting another secret weapon for his epic 2024 season: Advertisement Religion. In a new interview with golf social media influencer Grant Horvat, Barkley opened up about his newfound faith and credited it with helping him have one of the best seasons by a running back in NFL history. "I just became a Christian not too long ago," Barkley said. "I don't think it's a coincidence that the best year I had in my career, I found my faith. It gives me some clarity in life." Barkley rushed for 2,005 yards last season and helped the Eagles win the Super Bowl in a 40-22 romp over the Kansas City Chiefs in February. How a higher power works remains one of life's great mysteries. But it works for Barkley. Advertisement Barkley's religious journey is not an overnight success. At Super Bowl LIX he talked about diving into the Bible. "I'm not going to sit here and tell you that I know the Bible, like, in and out," Barkley said. "It's something I'm learning, I'm challenging myself to get better at with my family and my friends. I'm just growing, and I think that's the beautiful thing about it, and I think that's what religion and faith is, is having a relationship with God and understanding who Jesus is, and that's what I've been trying to do this year. I'm going to continue to try to get better at it." Last month, the 28-year-old landed on the cover for this year's edition of the uber-popular 'Madden' video game. Barkley was also a featured speaker at 'Life Surge: Champions of Faith,' a religious financial seminar at Philadelphia's 21,000-seat Wells Fargo Center.

Mariska Hargitay Revealed Her Sister's Lasting First Reaction to Her Documentary, 'My Mom Jayne'
Longtime Law & Order: SVU star Mariska Hargitay is letting fans see a whole new side of her in her new documentary, My Mom Jayne. The movie, which also marks Hargitay's feature film directorial debut, follows the actress as she remembers her late mother, Hollywood bombshell Jayne Mansfield, and uncovers secrets of her family along the way. Among the revelations in the movie, as revealed by early reviewers at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, is that Hargitay's dad, Mickey Hargitay, who passed away in 2006, isn't her biological father. More from SheKnows Mariska Hargitay & Peter Hermann Colorfully Coordinated With Their 3 Kids in a Super-Rare Family Outing In a chat with Entertainment Tonight at the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of the doc, Hargitay talked about how her family reacted to the big reveal.
