"Name That Tune" Revival for the USA - but filmed in Australia.
pownster:
There were rumours many months ago that a major US network were planning to produce a new game show in Australia for the US market, and now the plans are confirmed. The producers, Eureka Productions, are taking advantage of the relatively low Covid-free environment cases in Australia to allow audience members to attend. Contestants will largely be made up of American ex-pats in Australia, although some big name US stars are going to be involved in the series.

Actually, NTT has been on here in the colonies for a few seasons. It's called "Beat Shazam." But the live orchestra will make it more like the original version.

In all fairness, they’ve been trying to revive NTT in the States long before “Beat Shazam” premiered.

Yes indeed, valid point. Elizabeth Banks did a pilot for NTT in 2017. She has since found work on another game show :).

A follow up article has been published on Aussie TV blog site "TV Tonight" - it has been announced that Jane Krakowski will be hosting the revival - with Randy Jackson serving as Musical Director. Filming is about to commence in Sydney and will conclude in early December.
