| America’s Got Talent Season 22 is yet to be announced:
Is There going to be a Season 22 of America’s Got Talent — ✔️ June 9, 2027 New 🌻 Summer 2026 TV Show Premiere |
America’s Got Talent Season 22 release date
June 9, 2027.
That’s a Wednesday. 8 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. CT / 5 p.m. PT on NBC.
The 6:15 a.m. PT / 9:15 a.m. ET time in the announcement is a mistake. Probably a placeholder. Most markets air AGT in primetime. Check your local listings. Don’t set your alarm for 6 a.m.
Twenty-four episodes. One hundred twenty minutes each. That’s two hours per episode. Forty-eight hours total. That’s a lot of TV. Clear your summer.
The show has been on since 2006. Twenty-two seasons. That’s almost old enough to drink. Simon Cowell has been there for most of it. Howie Mandel has been there for most of it. Terry Crews has been there for the last eight seasons. Sofía Vergara joined in 2020. She’s still there.
Season 22 is more of the same. Auditions. Live shows. Semifinals. Finals. Golden buzzers. Sob stories. Simon being mean. Howie being funny. Sofía being loud. Terry being enthusiastic. It works. That’s why they keep doing it.
America’s Got Talent Season 22 cast
Here’s the Season 22 cast:
- Simon Cowell — Judge (the bio says “Audience Member.” That’s a typo. He’s a judge. He’s been a judge for 21 seasons. He’s not sitting in the audience.)
- Howie Mandel — Judge
- Mel B — Judge
- Sofía Vergara — Judge
- Terry Crews — Host
Simon Cowell is the head judge. He’s the mean one. He tells the truth. He’s also the one who discovers the real stars. He discovered Susan Boyle. He discovered Jackie Evancho. He discovered Darci Lynne. He knows talent.
Howie Mandel has been on since Season 5. He’s the funny one. He’s also the germaphobe. He doesn’t shake hands. He fist-bumps. He’s been doing it for years. Long before COVID.
Mel B is back. She left after Season 13. She’s been gone for nine seasons. Now she’s back. She replaces Heidi Klum. Mel B is louder. More opinionated. More chaotic. She’ll argue with Simon. That’s the point.
Sofía Vergara joined in Season 15. She’s the warm one. The one who cries at sad stories. The one who gives golden buzzers to kids and dogs. She’s also funny. She and Howie have good chemistry.
Terry Crews has been hosting since Season 14. He’s the hype man. He’s also the emotional core. He cries when contestants cry. He hugs them. He makes them feel safe. He’s perfect for the job.
Missing from the cast: Heidi Klum. She left after Season 21. She’s focusing on her German show. She might come back. She might not. For now, Mel B has her seat.
What will America’s Got Talent Season 22 be about?
The same thing every season. Simon Cowell and NBC search for the most talented person in America. Contestants showcase their skills in front of a panel of judges and a live audience. They compete for a chance to win a grand prize and become the next big star.
The prize: $1 million. Plus a headlining show in Las Vegas. Plus the fame. Plus the scrutiny. Plus the tax bill.
The talent: Singers. Dancers. Magicians. Comedians. Jugglers. Acrobats. Dog acts. Kid acts. Old acts. Everything in between.
The format:
- Auditions (June 9 – August 4). Weeks of auditions. Thousands of contestants. Most are terrible. Some are great. A few are unforgettable. The judges say yes or no. Golden buzzer sends contestants straight to the live shows. Each judge gets one golden buzzer. Terry gets one too this season.
- Live shows (August 11 – September 15). The best contestants perform again. America votes. The lowest vote-getters go home.
- Semifinals (September 22 – September 29). Fewer contestants. Higher stakes. More voting.
- Finals (October 6). The best of the best. One winner. One million dollars. One moment of glory.
The twist this season: Mel B is back. That’s the twist. She’s unpredictable. She might give a golden buzzer to a terrible act just because she thinks it’s funny. She might walk off the stage if she disagrees with Simon. She might start singing. She’s a Spice Girl. She does what she wants.
Is there a trailer for America’s Got Talent Season 22?
NBC released a trailer in May 2027.
One minute. Opens with Simon Cowell saying “This season, everything changes.” Then quick cuts. A singer hitting a high note. A dancer flipping through the air. A comedian bombing. A dog catching a frisbee. Mel B yelling at Simon. Terry crying. Sofía laughing. Howie doing his fist-bump thing.
Then the title card. Then the date. June 9.
The trailer doesn’t show any golden buzzers. Doesn’t show any winners. Just vibes. That’s enough.
NBC also released individual judge promos. Fifteen seconds each. Each judge saying something about the new season.
- Simon: “I’m looking for someone who can win around the world.”
- Howie: “I’m looking for someone who makes me laugh.”
- Sofía: “I’m looking for someone who makes me cry.”
- Mel B: “I’m looking for someone who makes me want to dance.”
- Terry: “I’m looking for someone who makes me believe.”
Search “America’s Got Talent Season 22 trailer” on YouTube. About 3 million views. The comments are full of people excited about Mel B coming back. Also people complaining about Mel B coming back. That’s the internet.
What to Expect and When?
Expect the usual. Auditions. Sob stories. Golden buzzers. Live shows. Drama. Controversy. A singer winning.
What’s different this season: Mel B. She’s unpredictable. She might give a golden buzzer to a terrible act. She might walk off. She might start singing. No one knows.
The schedule (approximate):
- Auditions: June 9 – August 4 (8 episodes, 2 hours each)
- Live shows: August 11 – September 15 (6 episodes, 2 hours each)
- Semifinals: September 22 – September 29 (2 episodes, 2 hours each)
- Finals: October 6 (1 episode, 2 hours)
- Results show: October 7 (1 episode, 1 hour? Not confirmed)
NBC hasn’t released the exact schedule. They’ll announce it closer to June.
What to expect from the auditions: The same as every year. A 10-year-old singer who brings Simon to tears. A 70-year-old dancer who brings the house down. A comedian who bombs so hard the audience boos. A danger act that goes wrong and the producers have to cut away.
What to expect from the live shows: Expect controversy. Someone will get voted off who shouldn’t. Someone will stay who shouldn’t. The internet will be angry. That’s the point.
What to expect from the finals: Expect a singer to win. Probably a young one. Probably a female. Probably someone with a sad story. That’s the formula. It works.

America’s Got Talent Season 22 premiere date prediction
No prediction needed. June 9, 2027 is confirmed.
But if you’re asking why that date: NBC always starts AGT in late May or early June. Season 21 started May 31. Season 20 started June 1. Season 19 started May 31. June 9 is a little later than usual. Probably because of Mel B’s schedule. She had other commitments. NBC waited for her.
Season 23 will probably start in late May or early June 2028. Same pattern. Same time. Same show.
America’s Got Talent Season 22 filming locations
Pasadena, California. That’s where they film the auditions. The Pasadena Civic Auditorium. Same venue since Season 1.
Why Pasadena? It’s close to Los Angeles. Easy for celebrities. Easy for crew. Also the acoustics are good. Also it’s beautiful.
The live shows: The Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. Same venue as the Oscars. AGT films there for the live shows. It’s fancy. It’s expensive. NBC pays for it.
The auditions before the judges: Sometimes filmed in other cities. Season 22 had auditions in New York, Nashville, and Chicago. The producers travel. They find talent. Then they bring the best to Pasadena for the judges.
The judges’ table: A set. Built at the Pasadena Civic. The judges sit there. They press their buzzers. They argue. It’s not real. It’s a TV set. But it feels real.
Terry Crews’s hosting spot: Also a set. He stands near the stage. He interviews contestants. He hugs them. He cries. It’s real. He’s really like that.
If you want to visit the locations:
- Pasadena Civic Auditorium is a real venue. They do tours. Not during AGT filming. Go in the off-season.
- Dolby Theatre is in Hollywood. They do tours. You can stand on the same stage where AGT contestants performed. It’s expensive. But worth it.

June 9. Wednesday. Simon is back. Mel B is back. Terry is ready. Sofía has her tissues. Howie has his jokes. America has its talent. A 10-year-old singer will make you cry. A 70-year-old dancer will make you cheer. A comedian will bomb. A magician will disappear. A dog will catch a frisbee. And someone will win a million dollars. That’s the show. That’s why we keep watching. Twenty-two seasons later. Still going. Still finding talent. Still making us feel something. That’s America’s Got Talent. That’s why it matters. Watch it. You won’t regret it. Even the bad acts. Especially the bad acts.
