Just hours prior to the finale of season one, Fox has renewed the singing competition series The Four: Battle for Stardom for a second season. The music competition series will apparently only be off the network’s primetime schedule for a couple of months, as Fox confirmed season two will air this summer.

The Four is truly a next-generation show,” stated Rob Wade, President, Alternative Series & Specials, Fox Broadcasting Company, announced the renewal. “It has pushed past the boundaries of traditional music competition series by focusing on recording artists in an epic battle to become a superstar. And for the winner, guided by music giants Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, DJ Khaled, Meghan Trainor and Republic Records, this is just the beginning. We’d like to thank our panel, our ringleader, Fergie, the contestants and our incredible production team for delivering concert-quality shows every week. And we look forward to pushing the boundaries even further in Season Two.”

Season one of The Four is Fox’s highest rated new unscripted show of the last four years. Ratings continued to grow as the series heads to its finale which pits Candice Boyd, Vincint Cannady, Evvie McKinney and Zhavia against each other as they vie for the crown.

Season one has been averaging 4.6 million viewers and ranks first among new TV shows in social media interactions.
