  "account": "Fox is reportedly developing a U.S. reboot of the popular singing competition series \"The X Factor,\" TheWrap has learned. The American version aired three seasons from 2011 to 2013, responsible for launching Fifth Harmony, along with the original British show creating One Direction and Little Mix. The new iteration will maintain a similar format, with contestants living together in a house. The production location and potential eligibility for a California tax credit remain unknown. Fremantle will collaborate with Mischief & Wonder, led by producers Emma Lamb and Leigh Aramberri. Several successful competition shows have relocated to reduce costs, with \"American Idol\" shifting to Georgia from Hollywood and \"The Voice\" executives considering a move out of Los Angeles. \"The X Factor\" concluded its U.S. run in 2013 and ended in the U.K. in 2018, leading to two UK spinoffs, \"The X Factor: Celebrity\" and \"The X Factor: The Band.\" The original series was co-created by Simon Cowell, who served as a judge in both the U.S. and U.K. editions. Notable judges for the American version included Cowell, Britney Spears, Paula Abdul, Nicole Scherzinger, Demi Lovato, Kelly Rowland, L.A. Reid, and Paulina Rubio. Fox has recently rebooted \"Fear Factor\" with Johnny Knoxville as host, featuring a more intense version titled \"Fear Factor: House of Fear.\"",
