I can't see X Factor been the success Simon wants on Channel 5. If it goes ahead, it won't last any longer than two series.

Channel 5 have done very very well in recent years with certain shows. Albeit shows which are nothing like The X Factor
 But it is very impressive that 6/10 of their most watched programmes of all time are from 2020 or 2021. |

Tbh if channel 5 leans into it being trashy it could do ok. It shouldn't try and recoup its glory days though as it won't have the budget or the pull.
I also think Simon and mean tv comes across a bit differently these days. |

I’d like to see Simon and Cheryl back as judges and then 2 fresh judges

Don't think this has been posted about anywhere else but apparently a tell all documentary exposing allegations of abuse and bullying behind the scenes on the show is forthcoming: https://metro.co.uk/2022/08/14/x-factor-doc...works-17179971/

That could be a very interesting watch if it goes ahead and could also really damage any chance of success if the show is revived by channel 5 not that I think it will do well regardless.

The latest update in this saga is that Simon is reportedly in talks with NBC to revive the series in the USA. Good luck with that... |

The saga continues as the “moving to Channel 5” rumours have sprouted in the tabloids again.

I've been listening to a six part Radio 4 series on BBC Sounds called 'Offstage: Inside The X Factor' where they cover what really went on behind the scenes from the audition process all the way through to how the contestants coped after it was all over.
They talk to former contestants and members of the production staff. Most of the staff who gave interviews had actors saying their words as they still work in TV and didn't want to be identified. It was quite an informative listen so I'd recommend it to anyone who is interested. All the episodes (30 minutes each one) can be found here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/m001vtth |

If they bring it back it would need some serious work and a big budget. No chasing the glory days and bringing Cheryl or Sharon back. Even Simon shouldn't be on the judging panel. What made the show big in the first place though (or ones of the reasons) was it actually created successful music acts. I don't see how easy it would be to achieve that in the streaming era unless major labels are involved. I don't think Simon's record label even exists now.
