NBC is kicking off the new year with the launch of the exciting new series America’s Got Talent: All-Stars.

Some of the contestants confirmed include past America’s Got Talent winners Brandon Leake, Terry Fator, Dustin Tavella, and Kodi Lee, Canada’s Got Talent 2022 winner Jeanick Fournier and Britain’s Got Talent 2022 winner Axel Blake.

Each week, 10 acts, including singers, dancers, ventriloquists, comedians, aerialists and magicians, will perform for the judges for the chance to earn one of the coveted five Golden Buzzers and move on to the finals, per NBC.

The America’s Got Talent “superfans” in the audience of the pre-taped show will also be able to vote for one additional act per episode to move on to the finals.

Following the final performances, the superfans will vote again on the 11 finalists to choose the winner, which is to be revealed in the two-hour star-studded finale.

Brandon Leake, winner of “America’s Got Talent” 2020, has been confirmed for the “All-Star” series.
