A new series titled American Supergroup is now in production and filming in Nashville.
Executive Producer Barry Josephson has announced a premiere on Pop (a CBS – Lionsgate joint venture) on Oct. 11 at 8 p.m. EDT, MTV Live on Oct. 13 at 8 p.m. EDT and MTV Classic on Oct. 14 at 7 p.m. EDT/PDT. The series will run for nine weeks on all networks and will include eight one-hour episodes and a 90-minute finale.
Josephson is joined by executive producers and co-creators Gary Wayne Bridges and Kevin Wayne Waldrop of Wayne Brothers Entertainment, along with producers Anastasia Brown and Irina Lucena. CAA is the exclusive worldwide agent for the show and international format rights are available.
American Supergroup is described as “a music competition program showcasing the creation and evolution of the best new band in the country.” Guided by a panel of music experts, 25 finalists from a variety of genres will be selected to form five groups of five members each—best guitarist, best drummer, best bass player, best keyboards, and best vocalist. Audiences will interact with, and vote for, contestants and bands via social media and an exclusive ASG app.
