X-Faktor 2026: New mentor dynamics and Majka's recovery

The 2026 season of the talent show X-Faktor has commenced filming in Hungary, featuring a new mentor dynamic. ByeAlex has returned to the mentor panel after several years, leading to playful but sharp verbal exchanges with fellow mentors Majka and Gáspár Laci.

Majka recently underwent knee surgery, a procedure she timed to coincide with the show's filming to avoid stage performances while recovering. Despite the surgery, she has participated in the auditions, though she requires physical support such as a brace during filming.

Production staff at the RTL Hungary studios in Budatétény noted that the mentors' reactions during the selection process remain spontaneous and unscripted, despite the high-pressure environment of the talent search.
