FOX has confirmed a return date for its hit singing competition series, The Four, and formally announced that all the judges will be returning with the exception of Charlie Walk.
The show will return Thursday, June 7 and four familiar faces will be on deck while one will be noticeably absent. Fergie is returning to host while Sean “Diddy” Combs, DJ Khaled & Meghan Trainor will be back at the judge’s table. Charlie Walk, who served as a fourth judge in season one, will not be returning amid sexual misconduct allegations that came out before the first season wrapped. Walk was also ousted as president of Republic Records after the allegations were made public.
The first season of The Four was Fox’s highest-rated new unscripted series in nearly four years in adults 18-49 and total viewers (1.2 demo rating, 3.6 million viewers). Evvie McKinney of Memphis was crowned the champion and is in the studio recording her first single under the panel’s guidance.
