The original America’s Got Talent TV show has been a big hit for NBC in the summer months for years. So, it’s no surprise that the peacock network would want to try launching another spin-off, America’s Got Talent: Extreme. This new show airs for just four weeks and it’s unclear if a shortened schedule will help or hinder this series from gaining traction in the ratings. Will America’s Got Talent: Extreme be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
A talent competition series, the America’s Got Talent: Extreme TV show is a spin-off of the long-running America’s Got Talent series. The judges in the first season are series creator and executive producer Simon Cowell, professional motorsports competitor Travis Pastrana, and WWE wrestler Nikki Bella. AGT’s Terry Crews hosts. The franchise expands with this series which showcases outrageous, unique, and jaw-dropping acts too big to be confined to a theater stage. Acts include feats of gymnastics, heights, fire, vehicles and more. Single contestants or groups vie for a chance to win a $500,000 prize and the title of “AGT: Extreme” champion.

While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled.
What do you think? Do you like the America’s Got Talent: Extreme TV series on NBC? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
*7/26/22 update: America’s Got Talent: Extreme has been cancelled by NBC, so there won’t be a second season, at least for now.
I am not going to be watching Extreme. I prefer the original AGT. A little a extreme goes a long way. Only Extreme is too much for me thank you. I missed Howie and Heidi.
I much prefer the regular AGT the extreme acts were never my favorite so I will not be watching this season. My family is very disappointed as this was our favorite show.
