Netflix is also today announcing reality competition series Vocal Class Wars has gone into production ahead of a 2027 launch date.

The series follows on from Netflix’s existing Culinary Class Wars and is billed as a “vocal survival competition that pits ‘White Singers’ – who the producers are calling ‘established artists whose names alone define a genre’ – against ‘Black Singers’ – challengers who erase their names and identities to prove their worth through voice alone. A similar black-and-white format device was used in Culinary Class Wars.

The series reunites Kim Hak-min, the producer behind Culinary Class Wars, and Park Sung-hwan, the producer who devised the Just Makeup beauty-survival format, following their previous collaboration on Sing Again. Studio Slam is making the show, with Choi Hye-jung attached to write.

The Vocal Class Wars production team said: “Following Culinary Class Wars, we’re excited to expand the ‘black-and-white’ universe to a new stage — music. Watch for whether the legendary artists appearing as ‘White Singers’ can protect their reputation, or whether the ‘Black Singers’ set to shock the world will flip the script — expect another thrilling showdown and unpredictable twists in this next class war.”
