Rapper Fat Joe, pop diva Jennifer Lopez and pop star Ricky Martin stand out in a new trailer of Behind the Music, Paramount+’s upcoming doc series, which also adds names to the lineup of featured artists. The three Latino superstars also appear prominently in new promotional materials. The series is a revival of the doc TV series of the same title that for more than a decade and a half chronicled the story of America’s pop music on the music video cable channel VH1.
Martin of Livin’ la Vida Loca fame and rapper LL Cool will help launch the series July 29. They will be followed by rock star Huey Lewis on Aug. 5, rapper legend Busta Rhymes on Aug. 12, new wave master band Duran Duran on Aug. 19 and pop boy band New Kids On The Block on Aug. 26. In September the spotlight will be on Bret Michaels of the rock band Poison on 2nd and Cuban/Puerto Rican Fat Joe on the 9th.
The second half of the season will feature the Lopez episode and other superstars whose names will be released later.
