Netflix Releases Trailer, Sets Dec. 10 Premiere for 'Simon Cowell: The Next Act'

The six-part project marks a documentary turn for the talent mogul, with Box to Box chronicling his bid to build a new boy band.

Overview

  • The trailer confirms a six-episode docuseries debuting on Netflix on December 10.
  • Cameras follow Cowell from open casting calls through a week-long Miami bootcamp for 16 finalists and on to a debut single.
  • Syco Entertainment and Box to Box Films produce, with executive producers Simon Cowell, James Gay Rees, Paul Martin, Warren Smith and Cassie Bennet.
  • In the teaser, Cowell says he misses signing artists and vows to find a new boy band, adding that failure would mean people saying he has lost it.
  • Recent context includes his BBC appearance in Boybands Forever and a proof-of-concept judging stint for ABC’s Who’s In The Band, where his NBC deal could limit on-screen involvement if that show advances.
