The X Factor is an Australian television reality music competition, based on the original series in the UK, to find new singing talent. The second season is set to premiere on August 30, 2010. The first series was cancelled five years ago due to poor ratings, but the show was revived after Seven Network acquired the rights through meetings with creator Simon Cowell.
The show will be broadcast on the Seven Network, as opposed to Network Ten which aired the prior series. Seven will also air spin-off show The Xtra Factor on 7Two. The second season was originally to be hosted by actor Matthew Newton replacing first season host Daniel MacPherson.
