Netflix has pushed back the release date of its highly-anticipated "Star Search" reboot by one week, with the new premiere now set for January 20th. The show was initially slated to debut on January 13th, but the streaming giant has announced that it will be giving fans an extra seven days to get excited.
Despite the delay, the revamped series will still maintain its original live format, where viewers can participate in real-time voting to help determine which contestants advance in the competition. Each episode will feature a diverse range of performers across music, dance, variety, comedy, magic, and junior categories as they compete for their shot at stardom.
Hosted by the talented Anthony Anderson, "Star Search" promises an exciting new era with higher stakes, more interactive format, and a dramatic arc structure. The show's creators, Jason Raff and David Friedman, aim to deliver unmissable live episodes that keep viewers engaged from start to finish.
The reboot boasts an impressive roster of producers, including Jesse Collins Entertainment, Dionne Harmon, Madison Merritt, Elaine Metaxas, and Taraji P. Henson, all working together to bring this classic talent competition series back to life. With a star-studded lineup of past winners like Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake, and Britney Spears, "Star Search" is set to deliver an unforgettable viewing experience that will leave fans eagerly anticipating the next installment.
The revamped show takes cues from its original 1983-1995 run, which initially aired in syndication with Ed McMahon as host. The series later underwent a brief reboot at CBS in 2003 before going into hiatus. With this new iteration, Netflix is breathing new life into the classic format, promising an exciting and unpredictable ride for both contestants and viewers alike.

. but for real, I'm kinda hyped for this reboot - it sounds like they're bringing back all the good stuff from the original show. I love that they're keeping the live voting format and interactive elements, it'll definitely keep things exciting. plus, with a star-studded lineup of past winners and producers on board, I think we're in for a treat. January 20th can't come soon enough! 
its been too long since we had a fresh take on this classic show 
i love that they're keeping the live voting format it adds so much energy to the competition 
anthony anderson is gonna be an awesome host, im feeling the vibes already 
i just hope they dont skimp on the quality of the performances 
taraji p henson being one of the producers gives me all sorts of hope for this new iteration 
her vision for the show sounds amazing 
cant wait to see what they do with it!
they shouldve just stuck with the original schedule 1st of jan is gonna be packed anyway 
btw who thought it was a good idea to move the release date in the first place? 
. The live voting thing is gonna be lit, can't wait to see the performances and compete with others on my couch 
. I've seen some of the past winners performing, they're actually pretty talented 
. Bring on January 20th! 
, they need a little extra time to get ready for their big moment 
it's probably still gonna be amazing, but how cool that we're getting an extra week of hype to get us all pumped up 
. I guess what I'm trying to say is... patience is a virtue 
And the fact that they're bringing back the classic formula with some fresh twists is really exciting... I'm curious to see how it's all gonna play out. 
Can't wait to see the lineup of past winners like Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake, and Britney Spears come back for a visit 
. The live voting format is still a great idea - it adds so much to the show, you can really feel the audience's excitement building throughout each episode 
. Bring on January 20th! 
, i mean, who doesn't love a good countdown tho? 
. I mean, it was such a iconic show back in the day! But I gotta say, with this new reboot, it's gonna be so much fun to watch again 
. And can we talk about the diverse range of performers? It's so cool that they're including music, dance, variety, comedy, magic, and junior categories - it's like a big ol' talent fest 
!
anyway, at least its gonna be hosted by anthony anderson who's always good for entertainment so that's something to look forward to 
gotta say tho, the new lineup sounds fire with taraji p henson and all those other talented folks on board 
is gonna be lit 
️ gotta see more about the contestants tho 
average rating of 4.1/10 
the first episode gonna be live? 
Fingers crossed for an unforgettable viewing experience 
Another delay from Netflix 
... Like we needed more time to wait for "Star Search" 
. And can we talk about how outdated the original format is? 1983-1995 was like, ancient history 
The new format sounds lit 
!
i wonder if they'll have any celebrity judges or mentors? taraji p henson is hosting lol. but ugh 1 week delay is kinda annoying... can't wait to see the revamped format though! 
Like, I know some people are super hyped about this "Star Search" reboot, but come on... January 13th was a pretty good time to drop it, you feel? Giving fans an extra week is gonna make 'em even more restless, trust me. And let's be real, the whole "live format" thing sounds like just another way for producers to stir up drama and tension. I mean, have we forgotten how that turned out on the original show back in the 80s?
