Building the Band OTT Release Date: When and where to watch musical show ft. Liam Payne's final appearance

Building the Band OTT Release Date: This is a new musical reality series that asks a simple question: Can you form a successful band without ever seeing your bandmates? Building the Band is set to release on Netflix starting July 9, 2025, with 10 episodes rolling out across three weeks. Here's all you need to know!
What is the show about?
In Building the Band, a group of singers enters a competition to form the next great music group. The twist? They won't see each other until after the bands are formed. Contestants perform alone in sound booths and choose potential bandmates based only on their voices and musical compatibility. The goal is to create groups built purely on talent and connection, not on visuals or image.
Once the bands are formed, the real test begins. The singers meet face-to-face for the first time, rehearse, choreograph, and prepare for performances. The show follows them through every stage, from blind auditions to rehearsals to final showcases, as they try to prove that chemistry in music can come before appearances.
Building the Band
starts with solo performances in isolation booths, like that of 24-year-old Donzell from Arkansas, who sings Labrinth's 'Jealous.' Their identities remain hidden until the groups are formed, making the process focused purely on sound and potential. The release is structured over three weeks:
July 9 – Episodes 1 to 4
July 16 – Episodes 5 to 7
July 23 – Episodes 8 to 10
The host, judge and mentors
Building the Band is hosted by AJ McLean, known for being part of the Backstreet Boys. Nicole Scherzinger leads as judge and mentor, drawing on her own experience in a pop group. Guest appearances include Kelly Rowland, offering her perspective from her time in Destiny's Child.
The show also features the late Liam Payne as a guest judge. His segments were filmed before his passing and have been included with the approval of his family. This marks his final on-screen appearance.
