Yet another 'talent(less) search' "reality" TV series. :-\



Netflix's Revival of Hit 80s & 90s TV Show Sets Release Date
------------------------------------------------------------
Netflix has announced the release date for Star Search, the
upcoming revival of the hit talent show competition, which ran
on-air from 1983 to 1995. The new show will be hosted by Golden
Globe nominee Anthony Anderson (Black-ish). He is no stranger
to hosting, as he's currently the host of the Fox game show
We Are Family.

"Star Search is back! The talent is bigger, the stakes are
higher, and the format is more interactive than ever. Each
episode will spotlight the best up-and-coming performers across
numerous categories - music, dance, variety, comedy, magic, and
juniors - as they compete head-to-head for their shot at
stardom. With an arced competition structure and weekly
eliminations with real-time global voting, the series builds
dramatic momentum, making every live episode an unmissable
event," reads the movie's synopsis.

When is the release date for Netflix's Star Search revival?
Netflix's Star Search is scheduled to premiere live on January 13,
2026. Episodes will air live Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 9:00 PM ET
/ 6:00 PM PT and will include real-time voting to let the viewers
help determine which contestants move forward.

"The live voting feature is a total game-changer," Anderson said
through Tudum. "Knowing that fans from all over the world can cast
their votes in real time adds a whole new layer of excitement and
participation to the mix. It's like we're all part of the show and
get to be one of the judges."

The series hails from showrunners Jason Raff (America's Got Talent)
and David Friedman (Bring the Funny). Executive producers are Jesse
Collins, Dionne Harmon, Madison Merritt, and Elaine Metaxas. It is
a production by Jesse Collins Entertainment, the team behind
Rhythm + Flow, the Primetime Emmy Awards, the American Music Awards,
the Super Bowl Halftime Show, and Hollywood Squares.

The original talent competition helped launch the careers of music
icons like Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, Britney
Spears, Dave Chappelle, Adam Sandler, and many others. The show was
originally hosted by announcer and game show host Ed McMahon.
