Jamie Foxx and his daughter, producer Corinne Fox, announced Monday that Allison Wallach, president of Fox Entertainment’s unscripted programming, will host a new music-focused game show for Fox called “We Are Family.”
The series, set to premiere in 2024, will feature non-famous relatives of celebrities performing a duet with their hidden famous family member. The entire studio audience will consist of fully 100 contestants who will play through several rounds of clues and gameplay, winning up to $100,000 each for correctly guessing which celebrity the artist is related to before they are revealed. .
“We are thrilled to develop ‘We Are Family’ with Jeff Aploff and our friends at Fox Entertainment after the six seasons of such success with ‘Beat Shazam,'” FoxX said in a statement. “We hope this show will be as much fun for viewers at home as we made it when it premieres next year.”
The series will be co-produced by Apploff Entertainment and Fox’s in-house unscripted studio, Fox Alternative Entertainment, which created the program. Apploff and Foxx will executive produce, with Matilda Zoltowski serving as series showrunner and executive producer.
“Jamie and Corinne are important partners to the Fox family,” said Wallach. “Her boundless energy and engaging conversation with the contestants is irresistible, making her the ideal host of ‘We Are Family’.” The series joins Fox’s rapidly growing list of premium music-focused competition series.
On April 12, Foxx suffered a “medical complication” later confirmed to be a stroke while filming the Netflix film “Back in Action” in Atlanta. Corin later cited media reports about the state of his health, including a headline that said the actor’s loved ones were “preparing for the worst.”
“Sad to see how the media runs wild,” she wrote in a instagram story Last week. “My dad has been out of the hospital for weeks and recuperating. In fact, he was playing pickleball yesterday!”
