FOX has officially renewed musical game show Beat Shazam for a second season, which should premiere sometime next summer.
“Jamie is the ultimate host and entertainer,” said Rob Wade, President of Alternative Entertainment and Specials at Fox Broadcasting Company. “He’s a larger-than-life personality with a passion for music that’s infectious, and we can’t wait to have him return for another great round of Beat Shazam in Season 2.”
Averaging 4.4 million viewers across platforms and hosted by Oscar winner Jamie Foxx, Beat Shazam is based on the app of the same name and features teams of players racing the clock to identify hit songs. The team with the highest score then goes on the face the Shazam app for a cash prize. The series has already awarded a million dollar prize earlier this summer.
Joining a slate of summer originals that includes So You Think You Can Dance, Love Connection, and American Grit, Beat Shazam airs Thursdays at 8:00 on FOX.
