NBC Announces New Competition Series ‘America’s Got Talent: All-Stars’

You know when the drill…when a series is successful (America’s Got Talent, in this case), the broadcast networks tend to a) run it for an eternity until there is no steam left; and/or b) order a glut of spin-off series. That said, and pointing to the latter, NBC has ordered America’s Got Talent: All-Stars.

Described as “a new extension of the powerhouse hit series featuring winners, finalists, fan favorites and viral sensations from previous seasons of America’s Got Talent and Got Talent franchises around the world,” contestants will take the stage once again, but this time to compete for the ultimate All-Star title.

Hosted by Terry Crews, America’s Got Talent creator and executive producer Simon Cowell will judge alongside supermodel Heidi Klum and comedian Howie Mandel. The only current host not heading All-Stars is Sofia Vergara.

The series will begin production this month and is slated to air at a disclosed time in 2023.

America’s Got Talent: All-Stars is co-produced by Fremantle and Syco Entertainment. Simon Cowell, Sam Donnelly and Jason Raff are the executive producers. News of the upcoming spinoff comes following earlier spin-off AGT: Extreme, which aired last winter and focused on stunt performers.

Speaking of Simon Cowell, today is his birthday. Happy 63rd Birthday Simon!
