“There are no current plans for the next series of ‘The X Factor’ at this stage,” an ITV spokesperson said.
Already in February of 2020, it was reported that The X Factor might be on its way towards shutting down.
“It’s not definitely returning, it might return, and if it does the format will tweak,” ITV managing director Kevin Lygo said. “Simon controls it more than we do. When does he want it to come back, how does he want to come back? Hopefully we can be part of it.”
Simon Cowell is already back as a judge of America’s Got Talent. And even though The X Factor is gone for now, he has more projects coming up.
Simon Cowell will be a part of the panel of judges in the new musical quiz show Walk The Line, which will be broadcasted on ITV.
The media mogul himself describes the new show as having viewers on the edge of their seats.
“We wanted to develop a show which will give the contestants a life-changing cash prize if they win,” he explained. “Each show there will be a champion who must make a vital decision: either cash out then and there or stay in the contest to compete again the following night and have a chance to claim the huge prize.”
