'Rock Star' Reality Competition To Return For Third Edition?

February 14, 2008

Christopher Rocchio of Reality TV World reports that Mark Burnett apparently still hasn't written off the possibility of doing a third edition of his "Rock Star" reality competition series.

"It's funny. It's probably — if you look at these online studies — one of the most requested shows to come back from anything I've done and almost anything is 'Rock Star'," Burnett told reporters during a Friday conference call intended to promote his upcoming new 'My Dad is Better Than Your Dad' NBC game show.

"And yes, I am in discussions with various bands. There's one flaw in that as a business, is that you have to find a suitable rock band that actually wants to find a new lead singer. So you got quite a barrier to entry. But yeah, we are in discussions with some bands. And yeah, people do want to see that series again."

"Rock Star"'s second season, which aired in summer 2006, aimed to find a frontman for a newly-formed group featuring musicians from other bands — MÖTLEY CRÜE drummer Tommy Lee, former METALLICA bass player Jason Newsted and ex-GUNS N' ROSES guitarist Gilby Clarke.

Lukas Rossi was chosen as lead singer during "Rock Star"'s September 2006 second-season finale.
