Simon Cowell is rumored to be embarking on a new venture with Disney+, just weeks after launching his latest creation, the band December 10, on a Netflix series.

The 66-year-old entertainment entrepreneur introduced the seven-member boy band through his show, “Simon Cowell: The Next Act.”

Now, it appears Cowell is set to join Mel B on the judging panel for “Who’s In The Band,” a project that has reportedly received the green light from Disney+, as reported by The Sun.

A source from the television industry shared with the outlet, “Simon has an incredibly full schedule ahead — it might be his busiest since the heyday of The X Factor.”

In addition to a possible second season of his Netflix series, viewers can expect to see Cowell on screens throughout the spring with “Britain’s Got Talent” on ITV, alongside a new season of “America’s Got Talent.”

‘Then there is the X Factor documentary on Sky, which he is being teed up to appear on, and now this new Disney show, which has a great deal going for it.’

Who’s In The Band will see competitors sing the same song at the same time inside coloured tubes. The proof-of-concept recording also featured Joe Jonas joining the judging panel.

The new show will be hosted by Rei Ami, who voiced Zoey’s singing in Netflix’s KPop Demon Hunters.

The prize on offer to the winner is a recording contract with a major label.

The programme is currently earmarked for US station ABC, but it is believed that it will be internationally available via the company’s streaming service.

Simon’s latest seven-piece group shot to fame after appearing on The Next Act, which propelled the band into the spotlight under his management – despite being met with scathing reviews.

After the show aired, the music mogul officially brought the lads together and they’re now ready to make their video debut.

Their cover of NSYNC’s Bye, Bye, Bye premiered on YouTube on December 15.

The video features a full live acoustic performance filmed at Metropolis Studios – the same session briefly teased at the end of the six-part Netflix series.

The Netflix docuseries follows the X Factor tycoon’s nationwide search for a new pop act, as he resurrects the talent show auditions and bootcamp format from his prime.

Before filming, Simon made it clear he is actively focused on signing only new talent for his latest venture.

The Britain’s Got Talent judge fears the UK is not finding enough breakthrough talent, saying record labels are not signing enough new stars, who face too much competition online.

Simon, who had global success with One Direction and Westlife, is determined to change that, and told the Daily Mail: ‘Right now record labels aren’t signing enough new talent.

‘So the amount of UK artists who are breaking worldwide has literally fallen off a cliff because I think there is too much competition online.

‘People don’t knock on your door saying, ‘I’ve got a new band’. It doesn’t happen. You’ve got to go out there yourself and do it. So that’s what we are doing.’
