Simon Cowell’s new talent show has formed the new band December 10 and sources claim the boys are already set for a follow up docuseries after being thrust in the spotlight
Seven years after The X Factor last aired, music producer and TV personality Simon Cowell is back with a new talent show, Next Act, which will take fans through the entire process of launching the group’s career. Seven boys made the final cut and formed the boy band December 10, which they labelled themselves after the release date of the show.
Now, it’s been reported that the boys are already set for a follow up docuseries after they have been thrusted into the spotlight. A source claimed a second documentary series is a ‘no-brainer’, Capital FM reports. They said: “There was a quiet hope that a show about finding a boyband would be as popular now as it was back in the days of the X Factor. But everyone has been thrilled by the reception because the whole world of entertainment has totally changed since then.”
The source added: “Following December 10 for a second series is a no-brainer. They’re rocketing online and already have a strong fanbase, and a camera crew has been following them since series one wrapped. All that content would make up series two and even if Netflix don’t commission it, there’s options like streaming it directly to fans on YouTube.”

The official synopsis of the show read: “Music mogul and record executive Simon Cowell has single-handedly created some of the biggest music superstars in the world.
“In this brand-new Netflix docu-series, cameras follow him everywhere as he sets out to do it again, to try and create the next global boyband sensation.
“This is unlike any show he has made before. From raw open casting calls to the release of their debut single, this is an all-access pass for viewers to catch every moment of Simon’s next chapter. Will he strike gold once again?”
Simon’s new band, which consists of Nicolas Alves, 16, Cruz Lee-Ojo, 19, Hendrik Christoffersen, 19, John Fadare, 17, Josh Oliver, 17, Danny Bretherton, 16, and Seán Hayden, 19 – released their new music earlier this week.
Ending the series The Next Act when they were chosen, Simon told the singers: “When this show airs your whole life changes. I am really, really proud of you individually.
“I am seeing you about to do what you always dreamt of doing. Probably the most important advice is, whoever becomes your very very first fan is the most important person in the world.”
The band has already seen huge success with their first music video reportedly reaching 117K views in less that 24 hours.
Fans are also excited about what is to come for the band as one commented: “Finally! A new boy band to get obsessed over. You guys are great!”, while another said: “Am I the only one who hears just the backstreet boys? I love them really and josh will become a star but it reminds me too much”.
