1 Week Before “AGT” Premiere, Judge Mel B Shares Exciting Details About The New Season
on May 26, 2026
With the AGT premiere coming up in just a few days, judge Mel B has some fun things to share about the new season.
Season 21 of America’s Got Talent (AGT) premieres on Tuesday, June 2. The show is poised to shake things up this year, mainly through its new Judges’ Callback round.
AGT’s parent network, NBC, teased the new phase of the competition in early May. The Judges’ Callback round will be held after the Auditions. As NBC explained:
“…the [judges] will deliberate and choose which performers advance to Live Shows. However, there will be a select group of Acts that the judges will want to see a second time before making their final decision. These Acts will be invited to the Judges’ Callbacks and given one last opportunity to fight for the final remaining spots in the Lives.”
One of the season’s judges, Mel B, spoke more about the AGT premiere during a solo interview with Good Housekeeping. She shared some exciting details about the upcoming season, saying:
“We all have two golden buzzers going through to the Live Shows. And we’re about to all individually call two of the acts each to tell them that they’re going through the Live Shows.”

Mel B also revealed the names of two special guests who’ll be joining her on her “home visits” this season. Her former Spice Girls bandmates, Emma Bunton and Melanie C will be tagging along for those!
But the one phase of the competition Mel B said she absolutely “cannot wait for” is the Live Shows. She shared that those that in early August. Everything up until that point will be pre-taped.
