Simon Cowell is reportedly in talks to relaunch The X Factor in the US on NBC.
Simon revealed the news while promoting NBC's new series AGT: All Stars. He said, "I have a saying in life that's always go where you've got the best invitation - and NBC has offered us to make the show here. Which means we'll make the show here."
He continued, "We found our perfect partner with NBC - honestly, I am not just saying that because they pay me, but they are brilliant. I just really like them, got on well with them and they get a kick out of seeing people succeed on [AGT]."
"So you go where the best navigation is and if I am being honest there is more excitement to make it here than in the UK," he added.
As you may remember, Nicole Scherzinger replaced English Girls Aloud member and singer Cheryl Cole as a judge alongside Simon a few days into filming, causing quite the controversy.
Demi Lovato and Britney Spears joined the panel in 2012, and a year later Kelly Rowland and Paulina Rubio replaced them.
Fox didn't move forward with a fourth season in 2014, thus cancelling the show, and the UK network ITV didn't renew the show after 14 years in 2018.
