Terry Crews will pull double-duty as well, remaining host of the original series and the spin-off, which is beginning production this month and will debut in 2023, NBC said.
The talent contest, created by Cowell, launched in 2006 in the US and has been replicated in 70-plus local versions produced in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa and the Americas.
Competitors range widely and have included singers, magicians, comedians and stunt acts.
