America’s Got Talent Season 18 has wrapped up auditions and is looking forward to the live shows. However, fans will have to wait a little longer before they can cast a vote for their favorite acts, as live shows aren’t set to begin until next week.

AGT Auditions Are Over, What’s on This Week?

Last week, America’s Got Talent aired the final round of auditions for Season 18. The episode ended with a performance from Japanese dance crew Chibi Unity, who earned the group Golden Buzzer from the judges and host.

This week, the show will air a special episode called “Road to Lives.” A description of the episode reads, “As the auditions come to a close, host Terry Crews previews some of the most memorable acts of the season moving on to the live shows.”

The episode is set to air during AGT‘s typical time slot, at 8/7c on NBC. It sounds like this episode will tease some of the acts who made it through to the live shows. Since the show did away with the Judge Cuts, the process of sending acts through has become a little more mysterious.

This season features seven Golden Buzzer acts, all of whom will go straight through to the live shows. Who will join them? We’ll find out soon.
