Star Search to Air Live on Netflix Beginning January 20

Star Search will return to Netflix next week with host Anthony Anderson and judges Jelly Roll, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Chrissy Teigen.

New episodes of the five-week event will air live Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 9:00 pm ET / 6:00 pm PT, with real-time voting so viewers can help determine which contestants move forward. Viewers watching live can easily vote with their remote or by tapping the screen if watching in the Netflix mobile app.

The new and reimagined series draws on the rich legacy of Star Search, which helped launch the careers of global icons like Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, Dave Chappelle, Adam Sandler, and many others.

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.

Star Search is back! The talent is bigger, the stakes are higher, and the format is more interactive than ever. 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.

Jason Raff (America’s Got Talent, Clash of the Choirs) and David Friedman (Bring the Funny, The Four) are the showrunners. The executive producers include Jesse Collins, Dionne Harmon, Madison Merritt, Elaine Metaxas, Taraji P. Henson, and Steve Mosko.

Jesse Collins Entertainment (Rhythm + Flow, Primetime Emmys, Super Bowl Halftime Show, Beyonce Bowl, BET Awards, Hollywood Squares) is the production company of Netflix‘s Star Search.
