The series, seven episodes long, will air Saturdays on BBC One in 2020 and also be available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
"We want to create lots of incredible groups who really gel," Little Mix said. "As we have been there and done it ourselves, we know what it takes to make a group successful and will be there to mentor them every step of the way.
"We want solo artists to audition as well as groups, and every type of genre is welcome, too. It's going to be really exciting, and people can apply right now!"
BBC executive Charlotte Moore said: "One of Britain's most popular all-female bands Little Mix will bring their magic to BBC One on Saturday nights in 2020 in a brand new show set to inspire the next generation of young artists."
