The powerful team of Will Smith, Jada Pinkett-Smith, and Simon Cowell are on the lookout for the world’s greatest DJs. The Smiths’ Overbrook Entertainment is joining with Cowell’s Syco Entertainment on a new international TV format that will, according to the powerhouses behind the idea, “capture the incredible rise of the DJ phenomena.”
 
The program’s been in the works for over a year, with more details on where the show will be broadcast coming soon. Says Cowell, “We have been working on this show for over a year and we wanted to partner with the right people. As soon as I met Jada and Miguel from Overbrook, I knew they would be our ideal partners. DJ’s are the new rock stars, it feels like the right time to make this show.”
 
“This show will comb the world to find a new breed of talent,” added Jada Pinkett-Smith, ” I am happy to be creating it alongside Simon Cowell, the Sony team, and my partner Miguel Melendez, on behalf of the Overbrook family.”
