Netflix is reaching back into TV history for its next piece of live programming.
The streamer has picked up a new version of the talent competition Star Search. The announcement came Wednesday during Netflix’s upfront presentation to advertisers, which also included a host of series renewals (for Bridgerton, The Four Seasons and The Diplomat, among others).
Star Search is one of a few new series orders Netflix announced at the event. Also on tap are a comedy from Schitt’s Creek Emmy winner Dan Levy; All the Sinners Bleed, a thriller from Black Panther co-writer Joe Robert Cole; The Body, a YA drama created by Quinn Shepherd (Hulu’s Under the Bridge); and Prime Time, a doc series about NFL Hall of Famer and University of Colorado football coach Deion Sanders.
