Jelly Roll, who earned his first Billboard 200 chart-topping project in 2024 with his set Beautifully Broken, is set to serve as a judge on the return of the storied talent competition Star Search, when the five-week live event premieres on Netflix Jan. 20.

Alongside Jelly Roll, Golden Globe-nominated actor Sarah Michelle Gellar and television personality/author Chrissy Teigen are set to join as judges.

New episodes of Star Search, hosted by actor Anthony Anderson, will air live on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET. The show will highlight performers in categories including comedy, dance, magic, music and variety, and will feature weekly eliminations with real-time voting.

Viewers will help judge which contestants continue on the path to the winner’s circle in real time, by voting with their remotes or by tapping the screen of the Netflix mobile app.

Teigen wrote on Instagram, “Holy s–t, this is big, and I am so so excited. I spent all of yesterday’s promo shoot trying to understand how every remote in the world with arrows of any kind can even do this but I’ve since learned to let it go and trust the process because my mind is too blown. What kind of judge am I going to be? I have no idea. I have no plan. All I know is I cannot wait to see the talent this brings…”

Star Search first launched in 1983, and is known for helping to propel careers of artists and performers including Christina Aguilera, Beyoncé, Dave Chappelle, Adam Sandler, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake.

This is just the latest 2026 milestone for Jelly Roll, who recently graced the cover of Men’s Health, taking fans into his yearslong fitness journey and sharing how it has impacted the singer-songwriter mentally and physically.
