Ryan Seacrest to Produce SUPERSTAR SHOWDOWN Hispanic Singing Competition Show

According to The Hollywood Reporter, American Idol's Ryan Seacrest is set to produce a Spanish singing competition show called "Duelo Musical: Super Estrella" on Telemundo, as well as an English-language version, SuperStar Showdown, for an NBC special.

"Latin America has always produced incredible musicians who have influenced global pop culture," Seacrest told THR. "Because of this, [Ryan Seacrest Production] has been focused on developing programming to reach the Hispanic audience for some time."

The 13-episode series will feature two-hour shows focused on head-to-head competitions between two singers, along with mystery performers and guest stars. The loser has to complete a bet. Like on American Idol, viewers will decide the winner.

Ryan Seacrest Production is launching Fusion with Univision this year. The new network will focus on English-speaking Hispanics.
