Jamie Foxx and his daughter Corinne Foxx are set to host a new musical game show for Fox called “We Are Family.” The show is scheduled to premiere in 2024 and will feature hidden celebrities performing duets with their non-famous relatives.
According to Variety, “We Are Family” will be taped in front of a studio audience of over 100 contestants and will feature multiple rounds of gameplay and clues as they try to guess what celebrities the contestants are related to. The celebrities appearing in each episode will range from famous musicians and actors to professional athletes and more.
This is not the first time the father-daughter duo will be hosting a music-themed game show for Fox. They previously hosted “Beat Shazam” for the network, which has been on the air since 2017.
“We Are Family” promises to bring a fun and unique twist to the game show format, with a focus on family connections and music. Fans of the Foxx family and music lovers alike will surely be eagerly anticipating its premiere.”
Contestants of the show will compete to earn up to $100,000. Allison Wallach, president of unscripted programming for Fox Entertainment, is happy that Jamie and Corinne Foxx are bringing another game show to the network, calling them “important partners” to Fox.
“Their boundless energy and charming interplay with contestants are irresistible, which make them the perfect hosts of ‘We Are Family,’” Wallach said. “This series joins Fox’s fast-growing list of premium music-centric competition series.”
Foxx’s announcement came after rumors circulated about her father’s health following a hospitalization last April due to a “medical complication.” In a statement on her Instagram stories, she refuted the rumors and revealed that her father had been discharged from the hospital weeks ago. She also hinted at an “exciting work announcement” coming the following week, which turned out to be the news of their new game show.
Due to Jamie Foxx’s health scare, he and Corinne will not be hosting the start of season six of “Beat Shazam” later this month. Nick Cannon and Kelly Osborne will be filling in as temporary hosts and DJs, respectively. However, the father-daughter duo expressed their excitement for their forthcoming game show with Fox, with both Jamie Foxx and Jeff Apploff serving as executive producers.
“We Are Family” promises to bring a fresh twist to the game show format with a focus on family connections and music, and fans of the Foxx family and music enthusiasts alike will surely be eagerly anticipating its premiere.
“We are thrilled to be developing ‘We Are Family’ with Jeff Apploff and our friends at Fox Entertainment after so much success with six seasons of ‘Beat Shazam,’” said Jamie and Corinne. “We hope this show brings as much fun to audiences at home as we’ve had creating it when it premieres next year.”
