Season 2 Synopsis
Want to find out what's going on with the all-male supergroup that was handpicked by Diddy during season 1 of Making the Band 4? Well, this is your chance.
Season 2 is here, and bandmates Michael, Robert, Brian, Willie and Qwanell and surprise solo winner Donnie are back together, ready to begin their journeys in the music industry and record their debut albums.
The Making the Band 4 guys are reuniting with Diddy and moving back into the penthouse. But there's a twist ... platinum-selling all-female pop group Danity Kane, winners of Making the Band 3, are joining the guys in the house while working on their new album. And Diddy wants to see who will finish first.
Season 2 of Making the Band 4 pits guys against girls, fresh faces vs. established artists to see who will be the first to complete their album.
Diddy is sure to throw them a few curveballs and there will definitely be some high voltage hookups, fiery feuds and intense infighting.
Will the guys be able to stay focused on the task at hand with the five lovely ladies of Danity Kane occupying the same space?
Follow the guys as they learn to work together and take the next step toward becoming established artists all while living up to Diddy's high standards.
Will bandmates Michael, Robert, Brian, Willie and Qwanell be the first to reach the finish line or will it be smooth sailing for solo artist Donnie? And don't forget about Danity Kane, who'll also be working their fingers to the bone to get the job done.
As they toil away, get reacquainted with Aubrey, Aundrea, D. Woods, Shannon and Dawn as the seasoned performers work on their sophomore album.
Having worked with top producers like Timbaland and artists such as Yung Joc, it would seem that Danity Kane has a leg up over the guys - but never underestimate the drive and determination of those who have recently emerged from the intense and challenging process of Making the Band.
