Simon Cowell is reportedly in discussions to launch a new talent show aimed at discovering the next big boy band, reminiscent of One Direction. This new series is expected to be similar to “The X Factor” and is currently being pitched to major streaming platforms like Netflix, Amazon, and Apple TV.
A source revealed that Cowell, who previously partnered with ITV for his projects, now sees global streaming services as the future for such competitions. He aims to leverage the potential of these platforms to introduce fresh talent to a worldwide audience. With some of the top songwriters on standby, this initiative is being dubbed “X Factor 2.0.”
Cowell’s history with “The X Factor,” which ran from 2004 to 2018 and launched numerous music superstars, adds an exciting layer to this upcoming project. The source noted that interest from streaming giants has been significant, as the original show was responsible for creating lasting musical acts.
While discussions are still in the early stages, the prospect of a new format focused on boy bands has generated buzz among fans and industry insiders alike. Cowell’s representatives have yet to comment on the matter, leaving audiences eager for more details about what could be the ultimate return of a beloved talent show format
