The Search for the new Menudo all-boy Mega singing group.

Epic Records/Sony BMG US-Latin join Menudo Entertainment to recreate the all-boy mega singing group, Menudo.

Epic Records has been named the official record label and will sign the new Menudo members, once selected, to a recording contract with the intent of reinstating the group as the newest Latin pop sensation and launching them to a new generation of music fans.

MTV and Reveille (producer of “Ugly Betty,” “Nashville Star,” “The Office” and “The Biggest Loser,” to name just a few) will co-produce 10 half hour episodes highlighting the extensive search for the next members of Menudo and the formation of the new band. The show will debut on MTV in Fall 2007. This is the third television collaboration between MTV and Reveille.

“The Menudo Brand has attracted a stellar group of partners to date, recently joined by Epic Records, MTV and Reveille. The journey to find the next international all-boy singing sensation has just begun,” says Jerry Brenner, Menudo Entertainment LLC Principal.

“Indisputably, the biggest brand in Latin pop music over the last thirty years is Menudo. We will now empower the public to help define the Menudo brand today through various platforms and our partners with one common goal; to entertain audiences around the world with great music,” says Charlie Walk, President of Epic Records.

The MTV series will chronicle the new Menudo’s rise to super pop stardom and feature the band recording their first album together, learning about the music industry and interacting with legendary icons who offer personal and professional advice along the way. As we see the band struggle to become a cohesive unit, the guys will have to learn how to overcome their differences, challenges and rigorous work schedules during this crucial time in their careers.
