AGT: Fantasy League has introduced an innovative format to the world of talent competitions. This nine-episode series pairs contestants with mentor judges who guide their team members through each phase while also competing to be crowned the first AGT Fantasy League champion.
Over the initial four-episode run on NBC airing Monday nights, viewers have witnessed not only singing, dancing, comedy, and more but also strategy and teamwork coming into play. With both a grand prize for the winning act as well as bragging rights for their mentor, there are multiple layers of incentives and goals at stake each week.
As the AGT: Fantasy League progresses, the judges, Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum, Terry Crews, and Mel B, strive to lead their contestants to victory while putting their coaching skills on display. It will be exciting to see how the relationships between mentors and team members continue to evolve and how that impacts the evolving game.
