NBC is the second broadcast network to reveal its summer schedule (after ABC) — and it’s an all-unscripted affair.

It all kicks off on Tuesday, May 30, with the return of reality juggernaut America’s Got Talent. The two-hour, Season 18 premiere will be followed by the series debut of Hot Wheels: Ultimate Challenge, wherein “passionate car lovers and superfans of Mattel’s Hot Wheels are afforded the opportunity of a lifetime: turning a nostalgic car from their past into the life-sized Hot Wheels of their dreams,” according to the official logline. Car aficionado Rutledge Wood hosts.
