The X Factor is reportedly set to return to ITV, around seven years after the show was taken off air. The reports say ITV is considering bringing the talent format back with a refreshed panel as part of efforts to improve ratings.
Coverage focuses on the proposed reboot, with outlets describing it as a bid to revive interest in the franchise. However, the specifics of who would judge or host, when it might launch, and whether a full series commission is confirmed are not detailed in the provided accounts. The shared theme is that the revival would involve changes to the judging lineup, while the show’s core competition format remains the central premise.
Across the sources, the angle is consistent: a return after a prolonged gap, accompanied by a “fresher” judging panel. Both outlets frame the development as a ratings-driven move, though they rely on similar reported information rather than providing extensive new details.
