The team behind "Culinary Class Wars" is making a 2027 Netflix series that judges singers on their voices alone.
Netflix announced on Nov. 11 that it is producing "Vocal Class Wars," a singing competition that borrows the class-based structure of its hit Culinary Class Wars and is set to premiere in 2027, Soompi reports.
The format splits the field in two. "White Singers" are established artists whose names alone carry weight. "Black Singers" are vocalists who set their identities aside and compete on voice alone, and the show says it will judge singing rather than careers or fame.
The production team framed the series as that idea applied to music. "We're excited to expand the world of 'Black and White' into a new arena through music following 'Culinary Class Wars,'" the team said, adding that viewers should look forward to "the thrilling competition and unpredictable twists of another class war."
The show is led by producer Kim Hak Min, who directed Culinary Class Wars, and producer Park Sung Hwan, who helmed the beauty competition series Just Makeup. The pair previously worked together on Sing Again.
Netflix's Korean account put the premise bluntly. @NetflixKR posted on X: "Ready for a vocal survival show where nobody gets to hide behind a name?" The post said the series arrives in 2027, only on Netflix, and it had drawn 53,971 views, 309 likes and 156 reposts.
