The second series of Polish television music competition X Factor started on TVN on 3 March and will end in June 2012. The pre-auditions took place in December 2011 and filmed auditions began on 10 January 2012 in Zabrze. Two of the judges, Czesław Mozil and Kuba Wojewódzki returned, though Maja Sablewska had left the show after the first series. She was replaced by a new judge, Tatiana Okupnik. Jarosław Kuźniar returned to present the show.
The judging panel line-up for the second series of X Factor was revealed on 5 January 2012.Kuba Wojewódzki and Czesław Mozil returned for the show and were joined by new judge, Tatiana Okupnik, who replaced Maja Sablewska.
In December 2012, media reported that Maja Sablewska would not return and would be replaced by a female singer. Monika Brodka, Ewa Farna and Tatiana Okupnik were said to be in the running for the job.
In October 2011, Adam Darski, better known by his stage name Nergal, was rumoured to join X Factor judging panel. He was a judge on the first series of The Voice of Poland, but was expected not to return for the next year due to the controversy caused by his appearance on the show. Darski was accused of spreading satanism by his behaviour on stage. That was why many catholic organisations wanted TVP, Polish public television which broadcasts the show, to fire him. His contract with TVP expired after the final of the series in December 2011.
