The quintessential talent show from the ’80s is back in a big way as Netflix revives the show that reminded contestants to “keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars.”
The iconic talent competition, Star Search, will return with host Anthony Anderson for a brand-new, revamped format that will bring live voting on the streaming service. Musician Jelly Roll, actress Sarah Michelle Gellar, and media personality Chrissy Teigen will join the show’s star-studded judging panel.
