*Fox has released a first-look promo for its new singing competition series “The Four: Battle For Stardom,” which panelist Sean “Diddy” Combs has promised will “disrupt the world of competition television” and “revolutionize the format.”
DJ Khaled, singer-songwriter Meghan Trainor and record label executive Charlie Walk round out the judging panel on the six-episode event, which premieres Jan. 4 and will air Thursdays at 8 p.m.
The show’s format works backwards from typical competition programs. Four finalists, chosen from their auditions, will try to defend their coveted spots on the stage, as they are challenged by new singers determined to replace them. Each week, if any of the four are outperformed as determined by a panel of judges, they’ll go home and their challengers will take their place.
The singer who is the last standing at the end of the competition will see the panel of industry experts become key players on their team. The elite group will then guide the winner’s career to help make him or her a breakout star.
Watch the first promo below:
“The Four” will air two months before ABC’s reboot of former Fox hit “American Idol” on March 11, and during the hiatus of NBC’s rival singing competition “The Voice.”
As part of the grand prize, the winner will be named an iHeartRadio “On The Verge” artist. iHeartRadio’s On The Verge program provides artists with unparalleled national reach through on-air radio exposure, as well as digital and social support across iHeartMedia’s powerful range of music and entertainment platforms. Fox also has teamed up with iHeartMedia to support auditions, assist in the search for talent and boost the careers of artists throughout the run of the competition.
