A new talent competition series from the Magnolia Network, Second Chance Stage, is in development to air on Max this fall and will include Martina McBride as one of the judges.
Filmed in Kansas City, the eight-episode series, produced by Sony Pictures Television’s The Intellectual Property Corporation, offers contestants who have pushed their dreams aside for years a second chance at their big break. With performances ranging from dancing to singing, stand-up comedy and more, one winner will receive a $100,000 cash prize in front of an audience of talent scouts, agents and producers looking for the next big star.
Other judges include actor Taye Diggs and Saturday Night Live cast member, comedian and actress Heidi Gardner, with sports broadcaster and New York Times bestselling author Emmanuel Acho tapped to host.
Magnolia Network is a joint venture between Chip and Joanna Gaines and Warner Bros. Discovery, featuring a family-friendly library of Emmy-winning, unscripted original content streaming on Max and discovery+ and the cable network.
