NBC’s 2022 primetime summer season lineup

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — NBC’s summer season is about to heat up with new shows and the return of popular series.

“America’s Got Talent” Season 17

Starting Tuesday, May 31, “America’s Got Talent” will begin its 17th season at 8 p.m. Executive producer Simon Cowell will return with fellow judges Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel and Sofia Vergara, as well as host Terry Crews.

According to NBC, this year’s summer installment of “AGT” promises fans, “surprise guest judges, new rounds, shocking twists and jaw-dropping moments.”

The live portion of the show begins on Tuesday, Aug. 9 and will last six weeks until the season champion is crowned in the spectacular finale.

“Dancing with Myself” series premiere

Following the “America’s Got Talent” season premiere on May 31, reality competition newcomer, “Dancing with Myself” will debut at 10 p.m.

Inspired by viral dance crazes on social media, “everyday people” will “compete each week in a series of high-energy dance challenges designed and demonstrated by the show’s celebrity creators,” the network reveals.

Creators Shakira, Nick Jonas and Liza Koshy will be joined by host Camille Kostek in demonstrating the new dances contestants will have to perform. Each contestant has to work out their take on the routine in an “isolated pod” before putting their talents on display in front of the live studio audience.

While Shakira, Jonas and Koshy will provide feedback and choose which contestants advance in the competition, each night’s winner is ultimately selected by the studio audience and is rewarded with a cash prize.

The network notes that guest celebrities will also take part in submitting dance challenges.
