Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jelly Roll, and Chrissy Teigen have signed on as judges for Netflix’s upcoming “Star Search” revival.
Hosted by Anthony Anderson, the new edition of the talent competition series premieres live on Netflix on January 20.
The five-week event will air live on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET/ 6 p.m. PT, with real-time voting via TV remote or mobile app.
Jesse Collins Entertainment (“Beyoncé Bowl,” the Super Bowl Halftime Show, “Rhythm+Flow”) is the production company behind the new “Star Search,” with Jesse Collins, Dionne Harmon, Madison Merritt, Elaine Metaxas, Taraji P. Henson, and Steve Mosko as executive producers.
Showrunners are Jason Raff (“America’s Got Talent,” “Clash of the Choirs”) and David Friedman (“Bring the Funny,” “The Four”).
The logline for the new “Star Search” reads: “Off the air for 20 years, the show returns as a nostalgic yet fresh entry in the talent competition space – ready to captivate both longtime fans and a whole new generation… 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.”
