The twentieth season of the American talent show competition series America's Got Talent premiered on NBC on May 27, 2025. Howie Mandel, Sofía Vergara, and Simon Cowell all returned to the panel for their sixteenth, sixth, and tenth respective seasons. Mel B returned to the panel for her seventh season after a six-season hiatus, replacing Heidi Klum. Terry Crews returned as host for his seventh consecutive season.[1]
Production
On January 8, 2025, it was announced that open-call auditions for the upcoming season had been postponed until further notice due to the ongoing wildfires in Southern California, where the show is filmed.[2][3] Filming of the televised auditions commenced at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium on March 14, 2025.[4][5]
Season overview
For the second time in the show's history, each judge was able to give two Golden Buzzers instead of the usual one. However, this season, host Terry Crews also received two to give out.
