NBC reboots ‘Got Talent’ in US with ‘AGT: Fantasy League’

America’s Got Talent

NBC in the US is spinning off another version of Fremantle and Syco Entertainment’s Got Talent format, this time with AGT: Fantasy League.

The show is described as being similar to a fantasy sports draft, with judges choosing a roster of acts picked from 40 winners, finalists, viral stars and fan favourites from America’s Got Talent and Got Talent remakes around the world.

Judges – Mel B, Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum and Howie Mandel – will then mentor their picks through the competition as they look to ensure one act from their team is crowned the champion.

The spin-off is being coproduced by Fremantle and Syco Entertainment, with Cowell, Sam Donnelly and Jason Raff among executive producers.

It will debut in 2024 and feature singers, dancers, ventriloquists, comedians, aerialists and magicians.

America’s Got Talent has been on air since 2006 and has aired in 194 countries. The Got Talent format has been remade in more than 70 countries. AGT: Fantasy League is the latest reworking of the franchise following NBC’s AGT: All-Stars and AGT: The Champions.
