America's Got Talent: Fantasy League (also known as AGT: Fantasy League) is an American reality television and talent competition series that premiered on NBC on January 1, 2024. The "fantasy league" series is a spinoff featuring winners, finalists, fan favorites, and others from previous seasons of America's Got Talent and across the Got Talent franchise, with each judge serving as a mentor for a set of acts. Terry Crews hosts the series, with Simon Cowell, Mel B, Heidi Klum, and Howie Mandel serving as judges. [2]

Format

Similar to America's Got Talent: The Champions and America's Got Talent: All-Stars , the "fantasy league" format includes past winners, finalists, and fan favorites from across previous seasons of the franchise, competing for the Fantasy League title. However, apart from the other spin-offs, Fantasy League allows the judges to have a team of 10 acts that they selected to compete. The judges serve as mentors to their respective acts throughout the show with the goal of each judge having one of their own acts crowned champion. Once all participants in a round have completed their performance, an off-stage vote is conducted by the studio audience, which determines the five participants securing a place in the semi-finals. The golden buzzer takes on a new role in the series: a judge can either use it to advance one of their own acts or steal an act from another judge's team. Each golden buzzer recipient bypasses the semi-finals and goes directly to the finals. In the finale, the winner receives a cash prize of $250,000. [3]

Production

On May 12, 2023, it was announced that an untitled America's Got Talent series was in the works, set for premiere midseason of the 2023–24 television season. [4] [5] On September 21, 2023, the series was officially revealed as AGT: Fantasy League, with judges Simon Cowell, Mel B, Heidi Klum, and Howie Mandel as well as host Terry Crews. [6] On November 15, 2023, it was announced that the series would premiere on January 1, 2024. [7] [8] [9]
