History
[edit]In October 2019, Seven announced that Australia's Got Talent would be returning in 2020, however in the format of The Champions which will feature a variety of participants from across the Got Talent franchise - winners, finalists, live round participants, and other notable entries - competing against each other to secure a place in a grand final and a chance to win a cash prize.[1][2]
In March 2020, it was announced that Ricki-Lee Coulter will return as host, with Manu Feildel and Shane Jacobson as returning judges along with new judges Sonia Kruger and Olympia Valance.[3]
In March 2020, the series was delayed as a health and safety precaution to the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia, as such during production there would be no international acts or an audience, a resume date has yet to be given.[4] Kruger will no longer be a judge on the series due to a busy schedule.[5]
In June 2021, Seven announced the show would no longer be a spin-off and that the format would still be used for the upcoming tenth season of the main series set to premiere in 2022.
