Viral sensation “Carpool Karaoke” has caught Apple’s eye.
James Corden’s popular segment, “Carpool Karaoke” on his late night eponymous talk show will be cloned into an exclusive series for Apple Music, according to a press release July 27.
“We love music, and Carpool Karaoke celebrates it in a fun and unique way that is a hit with audiences of all ages,” said Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of Internet Software and Services.
Unlike the late night airing, Corden will not be in the driver’s seat, but he is a producer.
Apple has ordered 16 episodes and there is no timetable for the premiere date, but production is scheduled to begin soon. The series will stream in 100 countries.
The “Carpool Karaoke” series will somewhat mirror the viral video sensation. In each episode, the celebrity will drive around to places to that hold sentimental value to said celebrity while belting out lyrics to songs from their personal playlists.
