Netflix will air a new version of the talent show Star Search. The original was hosted by Ed McMahon, but the streaming service has not announced a new host for the show yet, nor a premier date. Netflix's latest choice to lean into live programming is a bit of a head scratcher.

Star Search,” the talent competition show that premiered in 1983 with host Ed McMahon, is returning as a live competition show on Netflix. The streaming service announced the rebirth of the show on Wednesday at its presentation for advertisers.
