Alter Ego (TV series)

Alter Ego is an American music competition game show that aired on Fox from September 22 to December 8, 2021. The series is hosted by Rocsi Diaz.

The premise of the show is that the contestants sing backstage while motion capture technology creates digital avatars that appear in their place.

Format
In the series, contestants stand backstage while singing and dancing, as motion capture technology projects an avatar on stage that moves when the person does. The judges then decide who has the best performance.

On May 17, 2021, it was announced that Fox had ordered the series, with Matilda Zoltowski as executive producer. On July 16, Rocsi Diaz was announced as host of the show, with Alanis Morissette, Nick Lachey, Grimes and will.i.am serving as judges. On July 26, it was announced that Alter Ego would premiere on September 22, following the sixth season premiere of The Masked Singer and a sneak peek episode that aired on September 12.
