Disney+ has officially announced that renowned TV host Alessandro Cattelan will join the judging panel of Italia’s Got Talent, the talent show produced by Fremantle Italia. Cattelan, one of Italy's most popular presenters, will sit alongside returning judge and pop singer Elettra Lamborghini, as well as veterans Mara Maionchi—legendary talent scout and TV personality—and comedian Frank Matano. Hosting duties will once again be entrusted to Aurora and Fru of The Jackal, the comedy group known for their sharp wit and distinctive irony, who will bring their energy back to the stage of Italia’s Got Talent.
Currently, auditions are underway at the Teatro Politeama in Catanzaro, where aspiring talents are showcasing their skills in hopes of impressing the judges and securing the coveted "Golden Buzzer" — the fast track to the finals.
Italia’s Got Talent is part of the global Got Talent phenomenon, created in 2006, which holds the Guinness World Record as the "Most Popular Talent/Reality Show." Adapted in 75 markets, the format has captivated over 1 billion viewers worldwide. In 2023-2024, the show aired in 31 countries, continuing to deliver strong ratings. Notably, the 2023 Italian edition was the first Got Talent version in Europe to premiere exclusively on a streaming platform.
The new season of Italia’s Got Talent is a Disney+ original production, crafted by Fremantle Italia, and will debut soon on the platform in Italy.
