The iconic talent competition show that launched a generation of stars returned to Netflix in January of 2026.
It featured nine live episodes airing of 4 weeks. It was by Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated actor Anthony Anderson, with judges Jelly Roll, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Chrissy Teigen.
The show introduced Netflix’s innovative real-time voting to let the viewers help determine which contestants move forward in each episode. Viewers watching live voted with their remotes, or by tapping the screen if watching in the Netflix mobile app. The Star Search finale marked its most ambitious use yet. Over the course of the episode, viewers at home were invited to vote nine separate times, with each vote directly impacting the final outcome.
