President Donald Trump\u2019s reality TV show may get a reboot.<\/p>\n
Amazon has discussed the revival of \u201cThe Apprentice,\u201d for which Trump once served as host and co-producer, according to The Wall Street Journal<\/a>, which cited people familiar with the matter. The WSJ also reported Wednesday that Amazon executives have internally discussed having Trump\u2019s son Donald Trump Jr. serve as host.<\/p>\n An Amazon spokesperson said in an email to The Seattle Times that a reboot isn\u2019t actively in the works, with no current \u201cdiscussions happening either inside or outside the company.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cSince our acquisition of MGM, we have had preliminary internal discussions about what\u2019s next for The Apprentice as a property,\u201d the company\u2019s statement read. \u201cThe show is not in active development, and any reporting on details of the show or names of potential hosts would be purely speculative.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Any possible reboot is still in early stages of discussion, with Amazon yet to approach the Trump family, according to the WSJ, which said the White House and the Trump family did not immediately respond to the news organization\u2019s requests for comment.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Apprentice,\u201d which follows contestants who compete for a job working for a business executive, first aired on NBC in 2004, with Trump hosting 14 seasons. Following its $8.5 billion acquisition of MGM in 2022<\/a>, Amazon inherited the show\u2019s catalog. Amazon later released episodes of the original \u201cThe Apprentice\u201d series on Prime Video in March 2025, a decision sparked by Trump\u2019s 2024 election win, sources told WSJ.<\/p>\n Talks among the Amazon MGM Studios head and other Amazon executives about a possible reboot started in early 2025, before Trump was sworn in for his second presidential term, according to the WSJ, which added that around that time, Amazon agreed to pay $40 million to distribute \u201cMelania,\u201d a documentary centered on the first lady. \u201cMelania,\u201d which opened in theaters this year, ended up grossing about $16.6 million worldwide<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yakimaherald.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" President Donald Trump\u2019s reality TV show may get a reboot.
