NBC announces 'America's Got Talent' spinoff 'Fantasy League'. See why is it special
NBC is set to introduce a new spinoff of its popular show 'America's Got Talent' called AGT: Fantasy League in 2024. The judging panel will feature Mel B, Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, and Howie Mandel, with Terry Crews taking on the hosting duties.
This spinoff follows the network's previous successful launches of 'America's Got Talent: All-Stars,' 'AGT: Extreme,' and 'America's Got Talent: The Champions.' It's being introduced after the premiere of Season 18 of 'America's Got Talent,' which began in May and concludes this month, featuring Cowell, Klum, Mandel, and Sofia Vergara as judges, with Crews as the host.
In AGT: Fantasy League, the format mimics fantasy sports drafts. Each judge will create a roster of their preferred acts, selecting from winners, finalists, viral sensations, and fan favorites from both 'America's Got Talent' and the global 'Got Talent' franchises. These acts will be pre-selected by the viewers in an initial vote.
This spinoff marks a historic moment in the show's history, as the judges themselves will compete alongside the contestants. They will take on the role of mentors and guides for the acts throughout the competition. Their ultimate goal is to earn bragging rights and witness an act from their team being crowned the champion of AGT: Fantasy League.
After the AGT finale on September 27, viewers will have the opportunity to suggest contestants via the AGT app.
AGT: Fantasy League is a collaborative effort between Fremantle and Syco Entertainment, with executive producers including Simon Cowell, Sam Donnelly, and Jason Raff. This new spinoff promises to bring a fresh and competitive twist to the beloved 'America's Got Talent' franchise.
