Simon Cowell Is Looking for the Next One Direction
Simon Cowell needs YOU 🫵🏼
…instead of a talent show, Simon Cowell is going to form “the next generations global boy band” in a documentary, and is looking for applicants aged 16-18 who can sing and dance and ‘want to be the next One Direction’ https://t.co/iXVRDakuVr pic.twitter.com/fj6CfZbCVS

“Every generation deserves a megastar boyband and I don’t think there has been one to have the success of One Direction in over 14 years. The industry tends to focus on solo artists - so it usually takes someone from outside to put a group together,” Cowell shared in a statement.
The judge will be holding auditions to put together the next big boy band, and the process will be filmed for a “potential documentary series” produced with Box to Box Films, according to Rolling Stone.
“There’s always a high degree of risk, and I genuinely have no idea what’s going to happen! We might uncover an incredible group; we might not get there,” he shared. “What if no one shows up to auditions? That could be awkward. There is no guaranteed path to success - anything can happen, but that’s what’s exciting for me, and that’s why I’m doing this.”
Auditions will begin in England next month in Newcastle, Dublin, Liverpool and London. There is no streaming service yet attached to the upcoming potential docuseries.
It should be noted, Nicole Scherzinger is the one who actually put One Direction together.
