“You’re fired!” Who wouldn’t want to hear that phrase from the son of the man who made it famous?
Following the hit documentary “Melania,” Amazon Studios is reportedly discussing a reboot of the super-successful reality show “The Apprentice” featuring Donald Trump Jr. as host.
The Trump family hasn’t been contacted about the idea, but an Amazon spokesperson signaled to the Wall Street Journal that rumors might be true.
“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.

Amazon released episodes of NBC’s original “The Apprentice” on Prime in March 2025 following President Trump’s historic second-term presidential win.
The streaming service has been making efforts to reach a broader audience with Christian-based series like “House of David,” and an “Apprentice” reboot would appear to be in line with Amazon’s current trajectory.
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos still sits as its executive chairman and famously extended an olive branch to Trump before the 2024 presidential election.
After acquiring the Washington Post, Bezos pulled its endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris for president.
Amazon followed up with a $1 million contribution to Trump’s inauguration in 2025, where Bezos was spotted in attendance.
TDS was on full display over news of a potential “Apprentice” reboot. Here’s just a couple of the tamest responses:

Looks like a mix of nostalgia and politics—if it happens, expect both hype and controversy

That would be fire
I hope this pisses off so many people.
