For the new show, non-famous relatives of celebrities will perform with their famous family member, while they're hidden from the audience, and the contestants from the studio audience will have to guess who it is. The celebrities will include musicians, athletes and more, according to a press release from FOX Entertainment.
"We are thrilled to be developing ‘We Are Family’ with Jeff Apploff and our friends at FOX Entertainment after so much success with six seasons of ‘Beat Shazam,’" Jamie and Corinne said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital. "We hope this show brings as much fun to audiences at home as we’ve had creating it when it premieres next year."
"Jamie and Corinne are important partners to the FOX Family," Allison Wallach, president of unscripted programming at FOX Entertainment, said in a statement. "Their boundless energy and charming interplay with contestants are irresistible, which make them the perfect hosts of ‘We Are Family.’ This series joins FOX’s fast-growing list of premium music-centric competition series."

Jamie was hospitalized after suffering a "medical complication" on April 11.
He had "multiple tests run" while receiving care at a medical center in Georgia, People magazine reported, before returning home.
At the time of the medical issue, Foxx was filming the Netflix movie "Back in Action" alongside Cameron Diaz. Production has continued on the film using a body double instead of Foxx.
