negotiations regarding a potential new season are under way

Negotiations are currently underway between Voxovation and NBC regarding a second season of the American Song Contest.

Speaking to Aftonbladet, Christer Björkman from Voxovation who owns the rights to the American Song Contest has provided an update regarding season two of the competition. He told the Swedish newspaper that:

We are still negotiating and it is, as always, about money.

AleXa and her song “Wonderland” bested nine other acts from US states and territories to win the debut edition of the American Song Contest and claim the title of Best Original Song, which was broadcast by NBC earlier this year.

Entries from all 50 states, 5 U.S. territories, and the nation’s capital Washington, D.C., competed for the title of Best Original Song. The show was made up of five qualifying rounds, followed by two semi-finals, and ended with a grand final where the winner was crowned.

American Song Contest struggled in the ratings with a peak of 2.9 million viewers watching Show One on March 2, and viewer interest failed to reach this level for the remainder of the series. The Grand Final on May 9 was followed by 2.04 million viewers. Across the globe, the contest has been broadcast in the likes of Canada, Australia, Finland and Slovenia.
