AGT: Extreme aired on NBC, though it ended after one season. AGT: The Champions was another spinoff that aired two seasons, featuring winning acts from around the world competing against each other.
On Friday, NBC announced that the network had ordered AGT: All-Stars, a new spinoff AGT series that will air in 2023. The series is set to begin production in October. According to inspiration of AGT: All-Stars, saying the show is 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. The contestants will take the stage once again, but this time to compete for the ultimate All-Star title." Similar to AGT: The Champions, acts from across the globe will face off in an epic talent showdown.
AGT: All-Stars Bring Back Entire Judging Except For Sofia Vergara
The AGT: All-Stars announcement also revealed who would be on the judging . The judges for AGT: All-Stars are Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum, and Simon Cowell, all of whom have been staples of AGT for years. Terry Crews also returns as the host. The only judge from AGT season 17 who is not a part of AGT: All-Stars is Sofia Vergara, who ed the show as a judge in 2020. There has been no official reason given as to why Sofia won't be on AGT: All-Stars. AGT usually has four judges on the , but AGT: All-Stars will go on with only three judges.
NBC is very committed to providing AGT fans with another installment of the series in the winter in order to keep viewers excited about the popular summer show. AGT: All-Stars is the third spinoff for the franchise, and this one looks to be the most intriguing. On AGT: The Champions, most of the acts competing had already won their season, so it was more difficult for the performers who hadn't won to break through. AGT: All-Stars will hopefully put all the acts on the same playing field, which makes for an exciting competition.
The premise of AGT: All-Stars sounds very similar to AGT: The Champions, so it's up to Simon, the executive producer, and NBC to differentiate the new spinoff and make it exciting for viewers. There were so many acts on AGT: The Champions that it felt like more of a highlight show than an actual competition, which the franchise should look to correct with AGT: All-Stars. The more competitive the program is, the more exciting it will be for viewers. There's a lot of promise for AGT: All-Stars and fans should be interested in checking it out.
