Los Angeles, Dec 31: Hollywood personality Simon Cowell is in negotiations with NBC network to launch the new version of singing reality show “The X Factor”.
According to Deadline, the deal hasn’t been finalised yet but it would fall under Cowell’s expanded deal with NBCUniversal, which he signed last year.
Cowell launched “The X Factor” in the UK in 2004, and the competition series ran for 15 seasons. It ended the run in December 2018.
The show has had two spin-off series – “The X Factor: Celebrity” and “The X Factor: The Band.” The show launched the careers of several artists including One Direction, Little Mix and Leona Lewis.
The US version of the show was launched in 2011 on Fox with Cowell serving as judge along side Paula Abdul, Cheryl Cole and L.A. Reid. (PTI)
