Coming off its most watched season, summer staple "America’s Got Talent" has been officially renewed for a 13th season by NBC.

The onscreen team from Season 12 will remain intact, with AGT creator/executive producer Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum and Mel B set to return as judges next season, along with Tyra Banks who made her debut as host of the talent competition series last summer.

In anticipation of a formal pickup, auditions for Season 13 already are underway, with open calls being held in Phoenix on Saturday. Online auditions are open through March 9.




Last summer, AGT 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).
