Fox Renews THE X FACTOR For a Third Season

THE X FACTOR has been renewed for a third season, Fox announced today.

“I couldn’t be happier about THE X FACTOR already being renewed for another season,” said Simon Cowell. “I am so proud of the show and the team who have made it this season. I want to thank our incredible sponsors for their support and creativity, and FOX for going out of their way to do everything they can to make this show a success. Most importantly, I have to personally thank our amazing fans for the support and enthusiasm they have given to THE X FACTOR. Our main commitment will always be to find great talent, and let’s not forget, we are now days away from our first live shows. The gloves are off! Expect fireworks!”

“This season, Simon and the producers of THE X FACTOR took an already strong show and made it absolutely fantastic. The format changes are working, the contestants are unbelievably talented, and Britney and Demi – alongside Simon and L.A – have brought an incredibly fun new chemistry to the judges’ panel that our fans really love,” said Mike Darnell, President of Alternative Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company in a statement. “We feel great about the show and I’m thrilled to bring it back next year for Season Three.”

As has been well documented, THE X FACTOR underwent a massive overhaul between season 1 and 2, so it’s too early to assume who will be returning for season 3.
