NBC Adding to Got Talent Franchise

NBC has ordered a new iteration in the America’s Got Talent franchise with AGT: Fantasy League, premiering in 2024.

Similar to a fantasy sports draft, AGT: Fantasy League will see the judges each choose a roster of their favorite acts, picking from winners, finalists, viral sensations and fan favorites from America’s Got Talent and Got Talent franchises around the world, all pre-selected by America in an initial vote.

For the first time in show history, the judges will be competing alongside the contestants and will mentor and guide the acts throughout the competition with the hopes of earning bragging rights and seeing an act from their team crowned the champion.

Singer and songwriter Mel B returns to the AGT judges’ panel alongside executive producer Simon Cowell, fashion icon Heidi Klum and comedian Howie Mandel. Terry Crews returns as host.

A total of 40 acts will move forward to the AGT draft pool as the judges make their selections and fill their fantasy teams with ten acts. The Golden Buzzer will be back, sending acts straight to the finals, but each judge can use their coveted Golden Buzzer for their own act or to steal an act from another judge’s team.
