Got Talent

Supertalent is a Croatian reality television talent show based on the British talent show Got Talent by Simon Cowell and Ken Warwick. The series employs a panel of judges who look for the person with the most outstanding talent.

Supertalent premiered on 25 September 2009 on Nova TV. The series initially ran for three seasons until 2011, after which a short hiatus followed until 2016. Since 2017, the series is a staple part of Nova TV's fall schedule. The thirteenth season premiered on 27 September 2026.

Format

A season of Supertalent generally consists of auditions, semi-finals and a grand finale. In the earlier seasons, five big auditions were held in the Croatian cities of Split, Rijeka, Zadar, Zagreb, and Osijek. In the auditions stage, the contestant present their talents to the judges. The judges then vote on whether or not the contestant was good enough to qualify for the next round. Each of the judges, as well as the hosts and the audience, can use one golden buzzer (Croatian: Zlatni gumb) to allow their favorite contestant an immediate qualification to the semi finals.

After the auditions, there are semi-final and a final shows where the public choose one winner. Since 2023, the main prize received by the winner is 30,000 euros. The final show is usually shot live; it took place in Arena Zagreb in 2025.

Hosts and judges

The series was initially hosted by Rene Bitorajac and Igor Mešin. The latter was replaced by Frano Ridjan [hr] from the seventh season onward, whereas Mešin remained the host for the entirety of the series.

As of 2026, the members of the jury are Davor Bilman (dancer and former Ples sa zvijezdama judge), Fabijan Pavao Medvešek (television actor), Maja Šuput (pop singer), and Martina Tomčić (opera singer).
