Amazon Studios is reportedly eyeing a reboot of ‘The Apprentice,’ with Donald Trump Jr. as the host.
Discussions on bringing the show back are still in the early stages, and executives at Amazon – which previously produced the ‘Melania’ documentary – have not yet approached the Trump family about the proposal, The Wall Street Journal reports.
The Daily Mail has reached out to the White House for comment, but it has not yet responded on the matter.
The original reality television show from the 2000s featured now President Donald Trump in the iconic role – propelling him to the national spotlight.
He hosted the show, in which contestants competed for a job with the business mogul, when it aired on NBC for 14 seasons.
Amazon then inherited the back catalog when it acquired MGM film and television studio in 2022.
‘Since our acquisition of MGM, we have had preliminary internal discussions about what’s next for “The Apprentice” as a property,’ a spokesperson for Amazon told the Journal.
But the spokesperson stressed that the show is not in active development and no potential has been selected.
