How will the arrival of Amadeus at the helm of the X Factor change from the 2025-2026 television season? Here are the big problems to solve.
The arrival of Amadeus at the helm of “X Factor” on the Nove network, of the Discovery group, starting from the 2025/2026 season it will mark an important evolution for the famous Italian talent show. Amadeus, known for its dynamic and innovative style, has already demonstrated its ability to revitalize major television events, as it did with the Sanremo Festival. His presence promises to bring new ideas and a fresh approach that could transform “X Factor” in exciting and unpredictable ways.
With Amadeus at the helm, we can expect “X Factor” to adopt some of the winning strategies used during its Sanremo years. First of all, it is likely that the program will emphasize more the musical variety (but always with an eye on the radio) and the diversity of the participants, who in any case are and must remain pop. In recent years, see the latest edition with Sarafine, literally disappeared after the end of the program, some facets of pop/urban arrived which, although original, did not break through to the public and the radio. Amadeus has always tried to represent a wide spectrum of musical genres and artists, from the big names of Italian music to young emerging talents, enhanced by the Ariston event.
Amadeus at X Factor, the problems to be solved to relaunch the talent show
Another element that Amadeus could lead to “X Factor” is greater interactivity with the public, his great forte: furthermore, a not marginal factor, he has demonstrated his ability to create memorable television moments through unexpected collaborations and unique performances, for better or for worse, see John Travolta, with great prominence on social media , another great objective achieved by the host husband of Giovanna Civitillo. Here, perhaps the big stumbling block of this enhance the show on social media by not focusing solely on the performances.
Finally, but perhaps this is the real obstacle to overcome, Amadeus will have to find the solution to a huge problem which, instead, Friends, for example, has succeeded, albeit partially, in solving: that of launching important careers. The format in itself, and it is not a mystery, is even more than that of Maria De Filippi, a television product and, for this reason, as such it does not matter much whether the artists will then have a following in the discography. The Canale 5 talent show, however, has shown that it cares more about this aspect. In this sense, the birth of 21co is a clear and striking example (as well as obviously a nice way to further monetize what has been built over months of media exposure).
