The Next Act, hosted by Simon Cowell has dropped on Netflix, but one thing that is very noticeable is his huge lavish house.

Simon is on the hunt for the “next big boyband” as he tries to recreate the success he has had in the past, with bands like One Direction. So, the six-part Netflix series was filmed in London, and in Simon’s own house.

But the house impressed quite a lot of fans, who wanted to know more about it. So, here is everything we know about Simon Cowell’s house – both London and in LA.

Is The Next Act filmed at Simon Cowell’s house?

Simon Cowell’s Next Act series is filmed in various locations throughout the UK. But one of those places is his actual house.

The show is a mix between him looking for the next boyband, and also his personal life at home with fiance Lauren Silverman, and their son, Eric.

All six episodes released on Netflix on Wednesday (December 10) so eager fans may have already binged the entire thing. However, we won’t spoil the results for those who haven’t gotten around to watching yet.

Instead, let’s have a look at Simon Cowell’s house.

Simon Cowell London home on Next Act

Back in 2021, Simon Cowell bought a house in the Cotswolds after wanting more privacy amid a few break-ins at his London home. However, he and his family didn’t actually move in until 2023 due to renovations.

And while he has kept his house private, The Next Act gives us some sneak peeks.

In an Instagram post a few months ago, Simon could be seen standing in front of a utility family room. It had a large, white floor-to-ceiling storage unit against the wall filled with colourful coats.

A room similar to this was seen again in the Netflix show, as Simon sat on a cream sofa in front of a huge door that leads out to an absolutely huge garden.

Does Simon Cowell have a bar in his house?

Another room that was shown quite a lot was Simon’s kitchen. The huge room is full of all-white furniture. And it’s got a lovely clean look to it, with only a few bits of decorations on top of the counters.

The ceiling is designed with three hanging-down lights that sit over the kitchen island.

In another part of the show, everyone gathered in Simon’s living area. And from a far-out shot, we got to see more of the house. We could see that one room has two single sofa chairs, with an open wall that leads to the big sitting area.

On the wall hangs a huge TV, and in the middle is a table surrounded by four sofas in a square around it.

Another exit to that room actually leads out to what appears to be a bar. As Simon and Lauren were leaving, viewers could see a floor-to-ceiling wall of glasses and alcoholic bottles. Then, the other wall was full of images.

Does Simon Cowell live in LA?

But Simon Cowell doesn’t only have a house in London. He also has a luxurious mansion in California – and this can be seen in The Next Act too.

It’s believed he bought the mansion back in 2017 for around $24million.

From clips and images that Simon has shared, his home in LA has a tennis court, seven bedrooms with nine baths. He is also believed to have a custom chef’s kitchen and a home theatre.

In The Next Act, Simon Cowell can even be seen racing his son, Eric, in the massive pool of his LA house.

Not only that, but Simon had created a tent on his property, down near the beach. That’s where he gathered with some music industry friends to get their opinions on the upcoming talent.
