"Building the Band" is a new Netflix competition show that takes a spin on the format of "Love Is Blind" and features Liam Payne before his death.

“When we came together to film Building the Band, we never imagined we’d soon be saying goodbye to our friend, Liam Payne,” McLean says. “Liam is a guest judge in later episodes and through his presence, we see his deep love for music and his un­wavering commitment to helping others find their voice.”

The singing competition series Building the Band is now streaming on Netflix. But while the cast, crew, and contestants revel in the release, they also feel the noticeable absence of guest host Liam Payne,
