Back in December 2017 the auditions to find the new crop of kids started. At the same time, Montijo was announced to return to her hosting duties. "I am very excited of returning to a new season of 'Pequeños Gigantes' as it's been a project that I've been on from the beginning," Montijo told us about returning to the show. "We can't wait to enjoy the talent that the kids will give us and hope that family's at home enjoy it."

“Pequeños Gigantes” will test the kids’ artistic aptitude and ability to work together, assuming responsibilities beyond their years. Exceptional dancers, singers, musicians and entertainers across other disciplines will battle it out to become the next “Little Giants.”

Show producers are looking for children between the ages of 4 and 13 with exceptional talent in singing, dancing, acting, modeling, hosting, or any other special talent among the entertainment fields. To audition, participants had to be citizens or legal residents of the United States and speak fluent Spanish, among other requirements.

"Pequeños Gigantes" is set to be produced in México at the Televisa studios and air simultaneously in México and the United States.
