When you’re taking notes from host Rita Hora and judges “architects” Emma Bunton, Nick Carter, and Timbaland, it’s safe to say that you’ll make it as a band. In the premiere episode, we’ll meet 30 young male vocalists who are auditioning to form the ultimate boy band — but only 18 will make it to the next round, where the architects will work to mix and match the boys, forming three groups of six to compete.
Nick recently tweeted a sneak peek of the competition, adding “Can’t wait for you to see all the performances!” We can’t wait either, Nick!
