Simon Cowell set to have huge new talent show to find the next One Direction
Simon Cowell will reportedly be part of a brand new talent show that will look to find the next One Direction with Netflix set to be the platform which it airs.
Reports in The Sun back in March spoke about this new talent contest which will see Cowell try and find the next big boyband to fill the space left by One Direction.
Cowell found One Direction on UK singing contest The X Factor but that was cancelled three years ago due to poor views on ITV and it now looks like there will be another big show to replace it.
Now OLBG looks at the betting odds on who will be the presenter of Cowell's latest show, with One Direction's very own Niall Horan the frontrunner to be a presenter on the Netflix series.
| Simon Cowell Boyband Show To Be A Presenter | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Niall Horan | 1/1 | 50.0% |
| Maya Jama | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| Perrie Edwards | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Leigh-Anne Pinnock | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| Louis Tomlinson | 10/1 | 9.1% |
| Ant and Dec | 16/1 | 5.9% |
What the expert says...
Cheryl is favourite to be a judge on the show with other big names on the shortlist
It's not just presenters that feature in the specials markets around this new show, but judges too with Simon Cowell's talent shows always having judges as main stars.
We're still unclear of what the format of this show will be, with Cowell hinting on the Diary of a CEO podcast that it'll focus on the full journey that this boyband will make.
We could have initial judges through the audition period though and it's Cheryl who is the favourite to be a judge after previously judging on the X Factor.
Current The Voice judge Will.I.Am also features on the betting shortlist with another One Direction star in Harry Styles wrapping up the Top 3 in the odds.
| Simon Cowell Boyband Show To Be A Judge | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Simon Cowell | 1/25 | 96.2% |
| Cheryl | 3/1 | 25.0% |
| Will.I.Am | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Harry Styles | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Sharon Osbourne | 33/1 | 2.9% |
| Louis Walsh | 33/1 | 2.9% |
Cowell is a judge on Britain's Got Talent which was won by Sydnie Christmas
Another one of Cowell's shows is Britain's Got Talent which he created back in the 00's and the latest series of the show just finished with singer Sydnie Christmas the winner.
BGT's first season was all the way back in 2007 and 17 years and 17 seasons later we've now seen our 17th winner with Christmas set to have a massively successful future.
