Canada’s Got Talent is returning to air, nine years after its first and only season, and Howie Mandel and Lilly Singh have been set as two of the judges.
The series, which ran for one season in 2012 before a spinoff pandemic version aired last year, will air on City TV.
A Little Late star Singh and AGT judge Mandel will be joined by music label executive and produce Kardinal Offishall and WWE star Trish Stratus with country music star Lindsay Ell as host.
