Popstars soon back on a streaming platform?

The groups L5, linkup (of which Matt Pokora was a part) and Whatforor the singers Chimene Badi And Sheryfa Luna have one thing in common: these artists have all been revealed in the tele-hook pop stars, launched on M6 in 2001. When other singing competitions, such as the star Academy Or New starstopped on the victory of a budding artist, pop stars had a different operation: the show indeed showed the creation of a music group, or the launching of a solo singer, and this, from the casting to the recording of a first album. Another originality: the public did not intervene at any time. Thus, viewers could not vote for their favorite candidate; only the members of the jury, among which figured in particular the choreographers Mia Frye And Bruno Vandelli, had control over the fate of young singers. In short, a cult show that has managed to pull out of the game… And which could even come back to our screens very soon. But not on M6. Indeed, according to information from Parisian, published this Saturday, February 4, tele-hook would interest a streaming giant.

The newspaper specifies that Prime Video should make its final decision in the coming weeks. On the side of the French branch of the American giant, no comments have been made yet.
