Iconic Pop quintet NSYNC may have seen their Diamond-selling, eponymous debut album celebrate its 25th anniversary this year, but group member Lance Bass is done looking at the past and is ready to look for the next big boy band.

Taking to E! News recently, Bass – hot on the promo trail in support of his brand partnership with Boursin Cheese – served up exciting news that he’s producing a series to scout Stateside hopefuls.

“I’m producing and starring in a show to find the next great American boy band,” he shared. “I’m so upset that American boy bands have gotten overshadowed by England and now South Korea; we need to take that crown back.”

Apparently, he won’t be doing the hunt alone.

“Me and some of your favorite iconic boy band members are going to help find and create the next great American boy band,” Lance relayed without naming who his co-stars would be.

At writing, no tentative release date or network has been revealed.

The announcement came just moments after Bass shared his thoughts on a larger-scale reunion effort with NSYNC.

“The door is always open…especially now,” he said in response to quizzing about a new album and tour with JC Chasez, Justin Timberlake, Chris Kirkpatrick, and Joey Fatone. “I’m game and you know we will be talking at some point.”

His sentiment echoes a quote recently found in ‘Life & Style‘ magazine by Fatone.

“We just haven’t had a conversation about any of it yet. And I think once that happens, we will probably let people know. I think people definitely want to know. And I think it’s about time that we let them know – even to say whether it’s a ‘yes’ or a ‘no,’” Joey, 46, said. “It’s actually been fun and nice to see what’s been going on with ‘Better Place.'”

As fans know, NSYNC broke the internet earlier this year when they released their history-making single, ‘Better Place,’ for the ‘Trolls 3‘ soundtrack ahead of the film’s November 17 arrival in theaters.
