Netflix Plans Major Changes to Liam Payne's Talent Show

Following the tragic death of Liam Payne, Netflix is reportedly reducing his appearances in the upcoming talent series 'Building The Band' to avoid backlash over insensitivity. Payne had filmed his role as a guest judge on the show just months before his death, and the streaming giant wants to strike a balance between honoring his contribution and respecting his loved ones' feelings. Discussions with Payne's family are ongoing, as their input is a crucial consideration for Netflix. Despite Payne's intrinsic involvement in the show's process, executives have decided to feature him minimally, ensuring he remains part of the narrative without overwhelming presence. The show, which aims to create the 'next great pop group,' will also feature Nicole Scherzinger and Kelly Rowland as judges, alongside host AJ McClean.
