Heidi Klum will be sitting out Season 20. The supermodel judged alongside Mel B in Seasons 8-13 before both stepped away for Season 14. Klum made her comeback in Season 15 when she joined Vergara on the panel.
“It is absolutely brilliant to be able to announce this year as our 20th season,” Cowell said in a statement. “Over the years, we have seen some amazing acts and met some truly incredible people. It’s true that two or three minutes can change your life. I want to thank every contestant, all the fans who have supported the show every year and to NBC for believing in this show. And of course, the amazing team, past and present, who make the show so special. Now as always, I am really excited to meet the contestants this year.”
Auditions are currently underway for the new season.
Season 19 saw middle school janitor/singer Richard Goodall be crowned winner after he impressed the judges every week and earned Klum’s Golden Buzzer for singing Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin'” during his audition.
