Netflix Plans to Air Liam Payne's Show Without Family Approval

Netflix is set to proceed with airing 'Building the Band,' a TV talent competition featuring the late Liam Payne, despite his family's lack of final approval. Payne, who died on October 16 at the age of 31 after a fall in Buenos Aires, had completed filming the show prior to his death. The series, aimed at assembling a new music group, included judges like Nicole Scherzinger and Kelly Rowland, and was intended as a celebration of Payne's legacy. However, it has been reported that the family felt unprepared for the announcement, as they were still in discussions with Netflix about the show's presentation. Netflix's Vice President confirmed ongoing talks with Payne's family, but the decision to air the series this year has left them caught off guard. The situation highlights the tension between honoring the deceased's legacy and the network's programming schedule.
