The upcoming Apple TV+ competition series “My Kind of Country,” executive-produced by Kacey Musgraves and Reese Witherspoon, is not just going to be a genre-specific knockoff of “American Idol” or “The Voice,” it’s clear from a first trailer released Friday. Fostering inclusiveness of every sort looks to be as high on the agenda as finding unknown talent, as is made apparent not just from the YouTube teaser but the previously known trio of celebrity talent scouts — Jimmie Allen, Mickey Guyton and Orville Peck — plus a just-released rundown of the dozen competing aspirants.
“The people that i love in country music, they don’t look like me,” one contestant, Camille Parker, a Black woman from North Carolina, is seen as saying. “I’m ready to show people what they’ve been missing.”
Actually, viewers of the series may already have an idea of what the genre is missing, thanks to...

From executive producers Reese Witherspoon and country music star Kacey Musgraves, “My Kind of Country” features musicians from around the world who’ve been invited to Nashville, where they’ll compete to win what Apple TV+ vaguely refers to as “a life-changing experience from Apple, including global exposure across the Apple TV+ and Apple Music platforms.”

Tom Bergeron spent his hiatus from “Dancing with the Stars” doing “The Masked Singer,” on which he was unmasked as the Taco on Wednesday, and he does want to taco about both shows’ futures.
For the second year in a row, “Dancing” is skipping the spring cycle, and while it’s still awaiting a formal 29th season renewal, it’s expected to return in the fall. Though many fans hope it’ll eventually revert to its old schedule of two seasons per calendar year, Bergeron believes once a year is the correct call for the aging series, which premiered in 2005.
“I think that’s right for now,” he told “Entertainment Weekly.” “We don’t even have a firm pickup for the fall. So I’m clueless as to what the plans are at the network for it. I think they’ve spoken optimistically about it over the past few months,...

Len Goodman has revealed that he has no plans to leave Strictly Come Dancing.
The veteran judge explained that he fears the BBC could axe him and his fellow judges at any moment if it wanted to.
He told The Sun: "The BBC will get rid of me before I want to get rid of the BBC. I have no desire to retire because once you retire you never have a day off.
"I'm happy doing this. But there will come a time when the bosses think, 'We've had enough of old Len - he's getting dithery and doddery' and all that."
He continued: "As long as I feel I do the show to the best of my ability, then I'll keep going until they kick me out. And I think I've got a few more series in me yet.
"But there are loads of people who could replace me.
