AUDITIONS
IF THE AUDITIONS ARE OVER FOR SEASON TWO. THEN WHEN WILL THE NEXT ONES BE?
AMERICAN INVENTOR!!!
So 2nd season AI hasn't even started yet out west (I'll be going to Atlanta, hopefully)??? Should it be after the holidays? ABC, please tell us something!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What's the hold-up?
american inventor
You'd think that ABC and Freemantle would have a little more respect for people. At least give an update or report.
SOMETHING.
I think season 2 will be fantastic because nobody even knew about season one until it was already cast. I didn't even know the show existed until i saw it on TV.
Auditions
It would be nice if ABC could let Inventors know when the Auditions start so that we know how to schedule the Holiday season.
Hi Margaret
Rumor has it that casting calls for season two will be later than casting for season one. We have not received confirmation on this and that's why you haven't see a big ole article on our home page about this. As soon as we know for sure, we'll let all our readers know.

When is casting for American Inventor Season 2?
I have been searching and searching for any morsel of information on when the casting call will be for LA for Season 2 of American Inventor. Does anyone know? Last year was Nov 17th at the Renissance but it seems it it getting awefully close to that date and the website still says "in the coming weeks"
Any info is appreciated!
Thanks
Margaret Back
