Boy Band is a competition series where talented singers battle it out to become a member of the next great music sensation. And for the first time ever, viewers at home will vote for their favourite five band members, creating a group America can truly call its own.
Hosted by singer Rita Ora, the 10-episode series will capture the audition process and behind-the-scenes excitement where young vocal talents compete for a chance to show the world that they have what it takes to win a coveted spot in the band and receive a recording contract with Hollywood Records.
At the start of the season, thousands of talented singers audition for one of 18 spots in three bands that will need to impress the architects in hopes of evading elimination.
Each episode will feature a different theme, and the architects will shuffle contestants to find the best combination of voices to perform, live, for America.
Architects will critique each band's performance and collectively determine two contestants who are up for elimination. After performing solo "survival" songs, viewers at home will vote for their favourite to remain in the competition.
In the finale, America's favourite five band members will be announced, and they will perform their brand-new single together for the first time.
The three "architects" are Nick Carter, Emma Bunton and Timbaland.
