HaKokhav HaBa (translated as "The Next Star") is an Israeli interactive reality singing competition, which was first broadcast on Channel 2. It is based on the Rising Star franchise created by Keshet Broadcasting. The show is a continuation of the former program Kokhav Nolad (meaning "A Star is Born") which featured aspiring singers competing for a winning title. The program's format combines the internet, smartphones and television and is filmed live.
