Little Big Shots (US)

The program was set to premiere on 16 July 2017,[5] but was delayed due to the ratings success of Australian Ninja Warrior on rival channel Nine Network,[6] it subsequently premiered on 27 August 2017.[1] In September 2017, the series was renewed for a second season, this time featuring children aged 4 to 13.[7]

Although the series did not return in 2019, auditions for a third season were announced in August 2019 for an expected broadcast in 2020.[8] Seven ultimately postponed plans for the new season in January 2020 to an unspecified future date.[9]
