December 10 is an English–Irish boy band formed on Simon Cowell's Netflix series The Next Act in 2025. Their debut single, "Run My Way", reached the top 75 of the UK Singles Chart.

History

[edit]

In June 2024, producer Simon Cowell announced a new Netflix show, Simon Cowell's The Next Big Act, a reality-style program where Cowell, as host, would audition and select the members of an all-new boy band.[2]

On 10 December 2025, Netflix released the program, now titled Simon Cowell: The Next Act, as a six-episode documentary series following the audition process and the formation of the then-unnamed band.[3] Cowell had initially planned to select only five of the contestants for the band, but ended up keeping all seven finalists, saying "seven people just popped".[4] Five days later, the group released their first song on YouTube, a cover of NSYNC's "Bye Bye Bye".[5]

On 30 January 2026, the band released their first single, "Run My Way",[6] which charted at No. 68 on the UK singles chart.[7] On 6 March, they released their second single, "Angel".[8]

The group released their third single, "Infinity (123)", on 16 May 2026. Shortly after, founding member Danny Bretherton left the band after being embroiled in a scandal. The record company cited "mental health" to excuse his absence.

The group performed at the Capital Summertime Ball 2026 in London on 6 June 2026, singing their singles "Run My Way" and "Infinity (123)" as well as a cover of "End of Beginning" by Djo. Their debut EP, On Your Side, was released on 10 July 2026 which reached No. 5 on the UK Albums Chart.
