Spice Girls alum Mel B is returning to the “America’s Got Talent” judges panel for the reality competition’s 20th season. Mel joins “AGT” veterans Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel and Sofía Vergara alongside host Terry Crews.
Mel B’s return coincides with longtime judge Heidi Klum’s hiatus from the series. Klum, who joined “AGT” in 2013, judged on Seasons 8-13. After a hiatus for Season 14, the German model returned to the NBC show for a four-year stint for Seasons 15-19. Mel B was also brought on for “AGT’s” eighth season, following the departure of Sharon Osbourne. The singer exited the series alongside Klum after Season 13.
Mel B also appeared on the “AGT” spinoffs “America’s Got Talent: The Champions” and “AGT: Fantasy League” in 2019 and 2024, respectively.
Season 20 of “AGT” premieres May 27 on NBC at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
