Prodigies Pop (Arabic TV series)

:For the original format, see Prodigies (Arabic TV series)
Prodigies Pop is a pan-Arabian music talent show for singers, dancers, and musicians aged 8 to 16 and is based on the pop music version of the French reality competition Prodiges. All performances are accompanied by a choir of roughly 40 voices and a full orchestra of approximately 60 members under the direction of Daria Attali. The inaugural season will premiere in March 2024.
Unlike the original series in France, for which both episodes in each season are pre-recorded, the season finale in pan-Arabian version is a live show for which the overall winner is decided solely by televoting despite the super finalists from each category being decided by the corresponding judge. The semi-final, however, is pre-recorded.
