The show began staging producers' audition days on 8 June 2024 across Albania, Kosovo and North Macedonia.[6]
The auditionees chosen by the producers were invited back to the last set of arena auditions that took place in front of the judges. These auditions began filming on 8 October 2024 and were held in Tirana. The three episodes began broadcast on TV Klan from 8 November 2024 until 22 November 2024.[7] [8] On the first episode, Anxhela Peristeri, Ledina Çelo and Zhani Ciko were guest judges in place of Adi Krasta, Arilena Ara and Elhaida Dani.

The Judges' Houses were filmed in late October 2024. At the start of Judges' Houses, the judges discovered which categories they would mentor: Elhaida Dani was given the Boys, Arilena Ara was given the Girls and Young Zerka was given the Mix. Like in the last season, Adi Krasta would not mentor a category.[10] Instead of Elhaida Dani, who is abroad, her place has been taken by the duo Soni Malaj and Bojken Lako. However, the decisions about the competitors were made by Dani. Arilena Ara was assisted by Renis Gjoka and Young Zerka was assisted by Alandyn.[11]
