Netflix Orders Alan Chikin Chow–Led K-Pop Scripted Series With Hybe America

The project taps Hybe’s idol-development playbook to pair a scripted story with coordinated music releases.

Overview

  • The untitled series follows a misfit group of pop idol rejects at an arts academy who form a co-ed band, according to the official logline.
  • Alan Chikin Chow will star and serve as executive producer alongside Hybe America executives James Shin and Jingu Jang.
  • Emerging artists will co-star with Chow and release original music in tandem with episodes.
  • Netflix has not announced writers, directors, a title, or timing, and the previously teased global talent search remains without an update.
  • The order extends Netflix’s push into creator-led programming and K-pop, following recent deals with YouTube stars and hits in the genre.
