Where is 'AGT: Fantasy League' filmed? NBC spinoff finds new home at old 'The Masked Singer' Hollywood set
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The Pasadena Civic Auditorium will not be celebrating the debut of NBC's 'America's Got Talent' (AGT) spinoff because tryouts for 'America's Got Talent: Fantasy League' this year, in which aspiring performers fight for the ultimate $1 million prize, will be held there instead. Show taping for the January 1 premiere began in October at Red Studios Hollywood, with many shows scheduled each week.
The fourth season of 'The Masked Singer' was shot at Red Studios Hollywood, and the production team returned for season five. 'AGT' fans can join host Terry Crews and judges Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, and Howie Mandel as they return to the famous performance hall to find the finest singers, dancers, contortionists, and more alongside Mel B.
Specifically, 846 North Cahuenga Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90038, is where one can find the production complex.
The program is recorded on a custom-built set situated on the facility's soundstage. Before Red Digital Cinema Camera Company acquired the studio in 2010 and changed its name to Red Studios Hollywood, it was known as Desilu Cahuenga Studio and Ren-Mar Studios.
Many successful sitcoms, including 'The Andy Griffith Show,' 'I Love Lucy,' and 'Seinfeld,' have been produced at the studio throughout the years. It is also the venue for the 'The Masked Singer' spin-off series 'The Masked Dancer.'
There are four sound stages in the studio complex. Stage 2 is the smallest stage of the facility, at 5,600 square feet, while Stage 1 is the largest, measuring 25,500 square feet. Stages 3 and 5 are 11,200 and 17,500 square feet in size, respectively.
When does 'AGT: Fantasy League' premiere?
'AGT: Fantasy League' will go live on January 1st. The program will air on NBC at 8 pm ET/PT and on Peacock the following day.
Will there be Golden Buzzers in 'AGT: Fantasy League'?
The Golden Buzzer can once again send an act directly to the finals, but judges can also use their buzzers to grab artists from another judge's side! This may be as thrilling as the quick save.
But, as usual, the ultimate mercy is viral stardom, which is available to fascinating artists at any moment.
Who are the judges in 'AGT: Fantasy League'?
Simon, Heidi, and Howie will remain behind the Judges' table, while the one and only Mel B will also return. The Spice Girl previously participated as a judge on 'America's Got Talent: Champions,' as well as Seasons 8 through 13.
Each Judge will select 10 Acts from a pool of 20, and the audience vote will determine who advances each week, providing that Act's Judge bragging rights and bringing them one step closer to seeing their Act crowned champion. As Mentors, the Judges are involved in the performance of their players, just like in a sports fantasy league.
Will Howie assemble all the comedic acts and deliver the singers to Simon and Mel? Will Heidi spice things up by drafting all the dancers? Anything is possible, and the dynamic Terry Crews will host.
Watch 'America's Got Talent: Fantasy League' on NBC Mondays at 8/7c starting Monday, January 1, 2024, and stream on Peacock the following day.
