Format creator and talent show royalty Simon Cowell hops across the Atlantic to lead the judging panel for a tenth outing alongside Howie Mandell, who marks his 16th season this year and Sofie Vergara, who joins the judges for a sixth time. Former Scary Spice Mel B is also back after a six-season hiatus, rejoining the panel for a seventh season. Also marking his seventh appearance is host Terry Crews, a constant bundle of energy on hand to celebrate, or commiserate, with the contestants.
Throughout the season, a whole host of contestants from across the States and beyond will take to the stage, all hoping their talented efforts will avoid the red buzzer and maybe even earn them a press of the converted Golden Buzzer, on their way to a potential £1 million prize and a chance to headline a show in Las Vegas.
Previous seasons have been won by singers, dancers, magicians, poets, ventriloquists and even dogs, so it's anyone’s guess who will wow the judges and the American public this year.
