Simon Cowell Says U.S. Networks Want ‘The X-Factor’ Back, Reveals U.K. Version Would Return “More Likely Than Not” In 2024

deadline.com:

Simon Cowell is opening up about reviving The X-Factor in the U.S. as he says there are networks interested in bringing back the singing competition.

Fox aired the reality show for three seasons in the U.S. between 2011 and 2013. Although it’s television run was short-lived, Cowell was able to discover the pop group Fifth Harmony during season 2 of the series.

With almost 10 years off the air, Cowell told The Sun that networks in the U.S. have expressed interest in reviving the competition.

Although Cowell didn’t reveal how serious the talks are for The X-Factor to return to the U.S., he did say that the U.K. version would “more likely than not” have a comeback in 2024.
