‘The X Factor’ Reboot In The Works At Fox

Fox is working on a reboot of The X Factor, the reality television singing competition that originally aired in the United States from 2011 to 2013, according to coverage from Deadline. The revival comes thirteen years after the show's original American run ended, as noted by MovieWeb, which described it as one of Fox's biggest reality TV competitions. The Sun characterized the development as another twist in the long-running reboot saga surrounding the franchise. TheWrap reported that the series may return to the United States with a reboot at Fox, while Yahoo published a summary of everything known about the reboot so far. All five outlets published their reports on November 13, 2026, at 17:42 UTC. Coverage does not yet specify a premiere date, judging panel, host, or production timeline for the revived series. The X Factor originated as a British talent show created by Simon Cowell, and the American version previously aired on Fox for three seasons before ending in 2013. The franchise has seen various international iterations and periodic revival speculation in the years since its U.S. departure. The current reports confirm that Fox is actively developing a new American version, but details about format changes, contestant eligibility, or network scheduling remain unstated in the available coverage. Industry observers will be watching for official announcements from Fox regarding casting, production start dates, and air dates. The coverage does not indicate whether any former judges or hosts from the original U.S. run are expected to return, nor does it specify how the reboot might differ from the 2011-2013 version. Until Fox or the production company issues further statements, the scope and timing of the revival remain unconfirmed.
