Comedian, former talk show host, and YouTuber Lilly Singh is set to judge the second season of Canada's Got Talent. Joining her on the jury panel of the reality television series are comedian Howie Mandel, music label executive Kardinal Offishall, and WWE icon Trish Stratus.

The show is returning to air, nine years after its first and only season. Country music star Lindsay Ell is onboard to host the series, which will hit the airwaves on Canadian network Citytv.

Nataline Rodrigues, Director of Original Programming, Citytv, said, “This dynamic and powerhouse team of globally celebrated Canadian heavyweights – Howie Mandel, Lilly Singh, Kardinal Offishall, Trish Stratus, and Lindsay Ell – set the stage for CGT to uncover the nation's most unique and mind-blowing acts.”

Executive producer Scott McGillivray said, “Canada's Got Talent is a group of blockbuster talent spanning music, comedy, film, television and sports entertainment. Between them, they have been discovering, nurturing and inspiring performers for decades. We can't wait to see which new amazing talent they champion on our CGT stage.”

The series is produced by Fremantle, Syco Entertainment, and McGillivray Entertainment Media Inc Angela Jennings and Mike Bickerton also executive produce the show, with Jonathan Payne attached as showrunner.

The first season of Canada's Got Talent ran for one season in 2012 before a spinoff pandemic version aired last year. Martin Short, Measha Brueggergosman and Stephan Moccio were judges on the first season, which did not have another season due to what Rogers Sports & Media called the “current economic climate.”

Production on the revived version is set to begin in Niagara Falls, Ontario, next month with a live audience under COVID-19 protocols.

Disney Plus removes James Cameron’s 'The Abyss' in UK over banned rat scene

Nearly four decades after its release, James Cameron’s 1989 sci-fi thriller The Abyss has sparked controversy again, this time on streaming. Disney+ quietly pulled the newly uploaded 4K remaster of the film from its UK platform after complaints resurfaced about a banned scene involving live animal testing.

The specific scene, showing a rat being submerged in oxygenated liquid, has long been a point of contention in the UK. Though the rat reportedly survived the experiment during filming, the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) had previously ruled it in breach of the Cinematograph Films (Animals) Act 1937. As a result, the sequence was cut from all UK theatrical, television, DVD, and Blu-ray releases. Yet, when Disney+ added the remastered version in April, the uncut version slipped through, triggering backlash from animal welfare groups.

Mo Chara of Kneecap faces UK terror charge as band erects billboards in protest

Irish rapper Mo Chara, a member of Belfast-based hip hop group Kneecap, appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday, 17 June 2025, after being charged under the UK’s Terrorism Act 2000. The charge stems from an incident in November 2023, when Mo Chara, whose real name is Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, allegedly displayed a flag associated with Hezbollah during a performance at the O2 Forum in Kentish Town, London.

Hezbollah is a proscribed organisation under UK law. Under Section 13 of the Terrorism Act, it is an offence to wear, carry or display any article in such a way or in circumstances that may arouse reasonable suspicion of support for a banned group. The offence is punishable by up to six months in prison, a fine, or both.
