Netflix still does not know if it will release “Building the Band,” a series that Liam Payne filmed months before his death at the age of 31.
According to Deadline, the streaming giant greenlit the production of the music competition in May, and filming for the show had already been completed.
The former One Direction member served as a judge and mentor on the series, which seeks new talent, but the show’s fate is unclear after Payne died last week, falling from a hotel balcony in Argentina.
The singer was part of the jury alongside Nicole Scherzinger, former Pussycat Dolls, Kelly Rowland, former Destiny’s Child, and AJ McLean from the Backstreet Boys, who hosted the show.
The series produced three live shows that were filmed at the end of August in front of an audience, and at the time, Payne’s fans gathered to watch the recording, with some posting on social media about meeting the singer.
