Oscar and Grammy Award winner Jamie Foxx is set to co-host another game show, Fox Entertainment announced Monday. Foxx and his daughter Corinne will co-host “We Are Family,” a music-centered series showcasing “non-famous relatives of celebrities performing duets with their hidden famous family member,” the network said.
“We are thrilled to be developing ‘We Are Family’ ... after so much success with six seasons of ‘Beat Shazam,’” the Foxxes said in a joint statement. “We hope this show brings as much fun to audiences at home as we’ve had creating it.”
It will premiere next year.
On Instagram Friday, Corinne revealed that her father had been out of the hospital for weeks after suffering an undisclosed “medical complication” in April, which had raised concerns about Foxx’s well-being.
Corinne said Foxx was “recuperating” and attempted to shut down rampant media reports speculating about his health. The DJ said that her father was so well that he is already playing pickleball.
However, the 55-year-old Foxx did not appear well enough to complete shooting “Back in Action.” Body doubles reportedly were used to stand in for Foxx.
“Beat Shazam” went into production with Nick Cannon and Kelly Osbourne instead of Foxx and Corinne.

Martha Stewart is making history as a cover model for the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.
Stewart, 81, is the oldest person to cover the swimsuit issue. Maye Musk, who is now 75, set the previous mark last year.
“To be on the cover at my age was a challenge, and I think I met the challenge,” Stewart said Monday.
“For me, it is a testament to good living. I think that all of us should think about good living, successful living, and not about aging. The whole aging thing is so boring.”
Modeling helped put Stewart through college. Sports Illustrated reached out to her about the cover opportunity in November. “Trying new things, being fearless, is very good,” she said.
The 2023 issue comes out Thursday.

Taylor Swift appeared to defend a fan amid a situation with a security guard while performing in Philadelphia on Saturday. In various videos from attendees, she is shown shouting toward a specific spot on the floor of the Lincoln Financial Field.
"She's fine, she wasn't doing anything!" Swift shouts while performing her hit song "1989." She then said "Hey, stop!" while pointing and waving away.
Two Swift fans claim they were the attendees the musician defended.
Cheyenne Piper said on Twitter that Swift "was yelling at a security guard because (he) fully kept putting (his) hands on us to physically push us off of the barricade instead of just telling us to move … we weren't throwing anything ... (Swift) was fully coming over to dance and sing with us and it resulted in security being extremely aggressive for no reason."
Another fan, Caitlin Gabell said on TikTok that the guard “had been harassing our group all night."
Gabell noted the security guard was escorted out. “And then they offered us free tickets for (Sunday's concert)," she said.
