The always reliable for NBC, America’s Got Talent, has been renewed for season 13 by the network. All four judges will be returning as well as host, Tyra Banks.
America’s Got Talent is actually coming off of its most-watched season so the renewal comes as no surprise. The show is a summer staple and has never floundered in the ratings for the network. The one small amount of talk out there was that Mel B. could’ve been on her way out as a judge but this was proven to be false. She’s returning along with Howie Madel, Heidi Klum, & Simon Cowell. Host Tyra Banks took over for Nick Cannon last summer and the replacement has been virtually seamless with audiences instantly warming up to her.
Last summer, America’s Got Talent averaged a 3.5 rating in adults 18-49 and 16 million viewers overall in Live+7 for its original Tuesday telecasts, making it the most-watched season in the show’s 12-year history. Season 12 also set records across digital platforms, garnering more than 2.6 billion views across Facebook (1.9 billion), YouTube (630 million) and Twitter (81 million).
