They are family.
Actor Jamie Foxx and his daughter Corinne, 29, announced Monday that they will host a brand new music-guessing game show called “We Are Family.”
The unscripted music-centric show will feature “non-famous relatives of celebrities performing duets with their hidden famous family member,” according to a press release.
The news of Foxx, 55, returning to the public eye comes nearly a month after the “Miami Vice” star was hospitalized after suffering a “medical complication” while filming his new movie “Back In Action.”
The Post reached out to Foxx and his daughter for comment.
“We are thrilled to be developing ‘We Are Family’ with Jeff Apploff and our friends at FOX Entertainment after so much success with six seasons of ‘Beat Shazam,’” said the father-daughter duo in a statement. “We hope this show brings as much fun to audiences at home as we’ve had creating it when it premieres next year.”
The game show — which is set to air on FOX in 2024 — will comprise a live studio audience and will feature 100 contestants playing through multiple rounds of clues and gameplay. Contestants will also have the chance to win $100,000.
“Jamie and Corinne are important partners to the FOX Family,” said Allison Wallach, president of unscripted programming at FOX. “Their boundless energy and charming interplay with contestants are irresistible, which make them the perfect hosts of ‘We Are Family.’”
Wallach continued to say that the show will join the “fast-growing list of premium music-centric competition series” at FOX.
“We Are Family” is not the first show that Foxx and his daughter have hosted together.
In 2017, the pair headlined another music-based competition series called “Beat Shazam” where two teams race against each other and the clock to “identify the greatest hits of all time.”
Foxx hosted the show — which is currently in its sixth season — right up until his on-set accident in April.
According to his daughter, it was “due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery.”
Several celebrities including Kerry Washington, LeBron James, Kevin Hart and Nick Cannon — who took over hosting duties from Foxx — each offered their own support to the star.
According to a source close to Foxx, the “Django Unchained” star was improving, but still under observation.
Foxx’s daughter issued a statement Saturday saying that her father was out of the hospital and recuperating with his family.
“Update from the family: Sad to see how the media runs wild,” Foxx said in an Instagram Story.
“My Dad has been out of the hospital for weeks, recuperating. In fact, he was playing pickleball yesterday!” she added. “Thanks for everyone’s prayers and support!”
As of Monday, Foxx’s medical condition has not been disclosed.
