The interactive music game show, Beat Shazam, is staying put at Fox. The network has renewed the popular game show for a fourth season.
Jamie Foxx is returning as host and executive producer along with his daughter Corinne Foxx, who serves as the deejay on the show. Also returning are executive producers Mark Burnett, Jeff Apploff, Barry Poznick, and Lauren Zalaznick.
Beat Shazam has been a solid and steady ratings performer for Fox. The show averaged 3.2 million multi-platform viewers in its third season and ranked among last summer’s Top 25 broadcast programs among Adults 18-49. Also strong on social media, Beat Shazam has garnered 3.0 million total engagements across all social channels. Shows like this are also cheaper to produce for networks so even if they’re moderately successful, the return on investment can be quite high.
On Beat Shazam, three teams of two go head to head and have to beat the clock and each other as they attempt to identify the biggest hit songs of all time. In the end, the team with the most money banked will outlast the competition and go against Shazam, the popular song identification app, for the chance to win one million dollars. The app has been downloaded over 1.5 billion times around the world and counts over 25 million Shazams each day.
