The legendary talent show ‘Star Factory’ is returning after a long hiatus. The new series will air in autumn 2026, and it will be hosted by singer Volodymyr Dantes, who won the show’s second series.

The revamped ‘Star Factory’ will be launched in autumn 2026.

For the first time in the programme’s history, it will be streamed not on television but on the Sweet.tv platform. The organisers promise a modern format, new technologies and more opportunities for young performers.

Vladimir Dantes will be the presenter

Volodymyr Dantes has been chosen as the presenter for the new season.

This project holds special significance for the artist, as he was the winner of the second season of “Star Factory”, after which he began his career in the Ukrainian entertainment industry.

It is reported that Dantes will not only present the programme but will also support the contestants as a mentor, sharing his own experience and introducing them to the ins and outs of the modern music industry.

What will the show’s new concept be?

The project’s creators state that the new season will focus on training a new generation of artists.

They plan to pay particular attention to digital promotion tools, engaging with the audience, building a personal brand and recording commercially successful tracks.

Badoev will be responsible for creative development

The contestants’ mentor will be director and music video director Alan Badoev.

He will work on the contestants’ creative development, help shape their stage persona and style, and oversee the team of tutors and producers.

According to Badoev, the revamped ‘Star Factory’ is set to become a large-scale project with a new philosophy for developing young artists.
