Director Badoiev Takes On Mentor Role for Revamped Star Factory on Sweet.tv

A Fresh Take on the 'Star Factory' Show

According to РБК-Україна — Lite: The revamped 'Star Factory' is set to premiere in autumn 2026 on the streaming platform Sweet.tv. Filmmaker Badoiev, who served as the show's director 15 years ago, has now stepped in as its mentor. Hosting the new season will be Volodymyr Dantes, the winner of the second season of 'Star Factory'.

A New Philosophy for the Show

“The core shift lies in the show's philosophy. We are bringing in top-tier professionals: directors, stylists, choreographers-people who are actively shaping the Ukrainian show business today. Our goal is to provide young talents not just with airtime, but with real digital tools, a promotion strategy, and hit-ready tracks. This will be a large-scale, honest, and forward-looking show about the rise of self-made artists of a new era.” – Badoiev

As a result, viewers can anticipate a completely new format that promises to become a key platform for emerging talent in Ukraine. 'Star Factory' aims to unlock fresh opportunities for artists striving to succeed in the modern music landscape.

With Badoiev at the helm, the revival of 'Star Factory' could mark a major milestone for the Ukrainian entertainment industry, especially amid growing demand for new talent and innovative formats. The involvement of seasoned experts and a strong focus on digital tools highlights a broader trend of integrating modern technology into traditional entertainment shows. This move may open up new horizons for young artists eager to reach their full potential in the competitive music scene.
