Hitmakers release date and time: Will BLACKPINK's Lisa compete in Netflix's new music-focused reality series? Here's what we know
Netflix is serving up something fresh for music fans this July. The new music-focused reality docuseries Hitmakers brings together some of the industry's top songwriters and producers in a high-pressure competition to create the next big hit. It's not just another reality show. This one blends music, creativity, and just enough behind-the-scenes chaos to keep things interesting. Whether you're into chart-topping pop, curious about how a hit song is actually made, or just looking for a new binge-worthy series, Hitmakers might be worth adding to your list. And yes, there's a special surprise in store for BLACKPINK fans too. Inside the World of Hitmakers At the heart of Hitmakers are twelve producers and songwriters, including names like Tommy Brown, Harv, Jenna Andrews, and Trey Campbell. These artists aren't here to sing—they're here to build magic from scratch. Over six episodes, they work in groups, brainstorm lyrics, create beats, and pitch finished songs for artists to record. What sets this show apart is how real it feels. You'll see the pressure, the self-doubt, the clashing styles, and the moments of pure creative brilliance. Each episode dives into a different songwriting camp, and the goal is simple: make a track that could climb the charts. BLACKPINK's Lisa makes a special appearance Fans were quick to notice Lisa from BLACKPINK in the official trailer. Her appearance is brief but instantly eye-catching. Lisa isn't competing in the show, but she does show up as an artist during one of the camps, either reviewing songs or taking part in a session. This isn't Lisa's first time on Netflix; the platform previously hosted BLACKPINK's documentary, but this marks her first solo project feature. It's a big deal for BLINKs and adds another layer of global appeal to the series. Reddit users were already speculating on her role, with one fan pointing out, 'She's not just in the background. There's something personal about her appearance here.' Hitmakers release date and time on Netflix Hitmakers will premiere globally on Netflix on July 24, 2025.

The K-pop girl group has officially become the first girl group in history to surpass 15 billion streams on Spotify across all credits. It's a historic achievement made even more impressive by their minimal musical activity in recent years. What makes this milestone even more remarkable is that BLACKPINK achieved it with only one new track released in nearly three years: the digital single JUMP.
