This season will welcome back last seasons judges and a live audience.

Season 16 will begin airing auditions for America’s Got Talent starting Tuesday, June 1 on NBC with episodes airing weekly at 8 pm EST.

Cowell took a mid-season hiatus last August due to an electric bike accident that broke his back.
