If you are also someone who is wondering where the sixteenth season of the hit NBC series was filmed, we have got you covered.
America’s Got Talent Season 16 Filming Locations
The talent competition series was filmed entirely in California. The production for the show commenced in the last week of March 2021 and reportedly wrapped up a few weeks later in April. The shooting was done in accordance with all the coronavirus safety precautions, with the knowledge that, like season 15, the production can be suspended if all the safety measures are not taken seriously.
