"I saw the joy it brought to Liam," Scherzinger has said in an interview about making Netflix's new reality contest.

Netflix’s new talent competition Building the Band drops on July 9 — and already, this series about forming the next hot music group feels bittersweet. The series marks One Direction alum Liam Payne’s last project before his death at age 31, with many fans of Payne’s likely tuning in for a glimpse at the late singer.

“Building the Band” will premiere on Netflix on July 9, the streaming service confirmed in the first look teaser. The first four episodes of “Building the Band” will stream on Netflix starting at 3 a.m. ET/12 a.m. PT.
