10th December on Netflix

This new six-part series for Netflix gives viewers unprecedented access to music mogul Simon Cowell as he embarks on his mission to create the next global sensation.

The series has been shot and edited in a dynamic, slick style with lots of graphics, split screens, and montages.  From raw open casting calls through to the release of a debut single, the cameras follow every step of Simon’s process, providing a revealing insight into the man behind some of the world’s biggest pop acts.

Charlie Webb has worked with Box to Box several times over the years on projects such as Drive to Survive and Tour de France Unchained. Reflecting on his experience on this project,  Charlie said:
“I really enjoyed working across the series with the team at Box. It was really demanding in terms of the level of finesse required throughout the cuts , with a lot of advanced VFX techniques used in the Avid. Also juggling the backstories of Simon and the boys was a challenge. But having done that, the series as well as being very slick has so much emotion and heart in every episode.”

Simon Cowell: The Next Act will be available to stream on Netflix from the 10th December 2025.
