Netflix’s genre-breaking series Building the Band isn’t just a show—it’s a movement. With viral groups like 3Quency, SZN4, and Soulidified, Season 1 turned solo singers into overnight sensations and gave fans a new reason to stan.
Now, the fandom is buzzing with one burning question:
Will there be a Season 2 of Building the Band—and how can you audition for it?
What Is Building the Band?
Created with a format never seen before, Building the Band brings together solo singers who audition from soundproof booths, completely blind to each other’s looks. Based on vocal chemistry alone, they form groups—and only then do they meet face-to-face.
It’s the perfect blend of The Voice, Love Is Blind, and Making the Band—and it’s quickly become one of Netflix’s Top 10 global hits.
