In a previous announcement Jack Sussman, executive vice president of specials, music, live events and alternative programming for CBS, offered some insight into what viewers can expect from Superfan. “Nate and Keltie will take you on a fun ride each week with a global music superstar in an exhilarating contest to crown the ultimate superfan, which audiences can play along with at home. Viewers will also be treated to an exclusive medley of hits performed by these mega musicians, which will feel all the more special when performed for their most passionate fans.”
“We felt like it was time that fan bases across all genres of music get the love and recognition they deserve,” said series creators and executive producers Knight and Jodi Roth. “Superfan gives celebrated musical artists a chance to honor their fans by engaging with them one-on-one and surprising them with once-in-a-lifetime prize packages. It’s a feel-good show that everyone will enjoy.”
“Superfan showcases your favorite artists while celebrating their biggest devotees! This show perfectly captures the energy of concert vibes and competition. As a host, I get to meet music icons and watch everyday fans compete for a dream prize,” Burleson added. “You will dance, laugh and even cry by the end of each episode, but more importantly, you’ll walk away a superfan yourself.”
