Liam Payne's Family in Talks with Netflix

The sudden death of One Direction singer Liam Payne has prompted Netflix to seek his family's approval before airing his final project, the talent show 'Building the Band'. Initially scheduled for 2025, discussions are ongoing to ensure the family is comfortable with the release, as the show is seen as a poignant representation of Payne's mentorship and passion for music. Filming concluded in August 2024, featuring notable artists like Nicole Scherzinger and Kelly Rowland, with the aim of forming a new music group from 50 aspiring singers. Following Payne's tragic fall from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires on October 16, several individuals have been charged in connection with his death, including his friend Rogelio 'Roger' Nores, who is facing allegations of negligent homicide. The production team emphasizes that nothing will be finalized without the family's blessing, reinforcing the emotional weight of the series as one of Payne's last works. The show's executive producer described it as a 'brave and bold undertaking' focused on the chemistry among the artists involved.
