Singapore – The regional search is on for Asia’s next superstar as AXN announced the audition cities for season two of the record-breaking series, Asia’s Got Talent.  Kicking off on May 14, talented hopefuls can descend on any of these five locations: Singapore (May 14), Kuala Lumpur (May 20), Manila (May 21), Taipei (May 27) and Bangkok (May 28) for their chance at super stardom and USD100,000 in cash.

“Asia’s Got Talent Season One was unprecedented in its scale and was billed as the world’s largest talent competition. Never before has a series united so many diverse cultures to celebrate the art of performance. The viewer response across the region was overwhelming and reflects the strong demand for locally relevant content that is engaging, surprising and incredibly entertaining,” said Virginia Lim, Senior Vice President and the Head of Content, Production and Marketing, Sony Pictures Television Networks, Asia.

“This season, we’re embarking on yet another regional search, in a vibrant region that is home to more than half of the world’s population.

Aspiring performers are encouraged to pre-apply online to expedite the registration process on the day of the open audition. Thousands of performers are expected to attend the audition in each city for their chance at stardom. If their act is successful, they may then be selected to perform at the judges’ auditions, which comprise the first five episodes of the series and precede the semi-finals and the grand finale episode where the winner of Asia’s Got Talent will be crowned. Asia’s Got Talent is slated to premiere in the second half of 2017, first and exclusively on AXN.
