X Factor revived after 7 years in the UK. The format will change radically and will target the jury of the youngest and the social for higher ratings: lindiscrecion

The British talent show X Factor, which was canceled seven years ago due to declining viewership, could make a comeback with a completely revamped format. According to reports from the Daily Star and other British sources, ITV is considering reviving the show but with significant changes aimed at appealing to younger audiences familiar with social media. This would involve introducing a new panel of judges with fresh faces, while Simon Cowell, the show’s creator, might remain involved behind the scenes rather than returning as a judge. X Factor UK originally aired for fifteen seasons between 2004 and 2018, achieving peak popularity with nearly 19 million viewers and launching several famous British musicians. Its return would come amid a drastically different television landscape, where social networks play a central role in discovering new talents. ITV has been searching for a strong weekend program after previous attempts failed to attract large audiences, and reviving X Factor with a modern approach is seen as a viable opportunity.
