Last spring, CBS trialed special celebrity editions of “Undercover Boss.”

This spring, the network is moving forward with a complete season of the celebrity-themed show.

Whereas the original series involves executives going undercover to learn about the innerworkings of their companies, the celebrity version generally finds disguised stars interacting with talented people in their professional fields.

“Imagine if your idol could walk a mile in your shoes, recognize your special ability and change your life forever? This is what you’ll see this season on the celebrity edition of UNDERCOVER BOSS – along with state-of-the-art disguises, trickier undercover situations – and the greatest payoffs yet,” said Greg Goldman, executive producer of the new series.

The season premieres on May 11. Ahead of that launch, CBS revealed the first four celebrity guests. Episode previews follow:
