ABC revives American Idol
Was the show really missed that much after a year? ABC certainly seems to think so. They even said FOX ended it way too soon. ABC has officially announced that they will revive American Idol for the 2017-18 season.

Also, former EP Nigel Lythgoe said yesterday it's probably too soon to bring the show back, but he wishes them well. http://variety.com/2017/tv/news/amer...on-1202419151/ Last edited by ranger_scout; 06-12-2017 at 09:52 AM. |

Eh, I lost interest in it after a little while so I don't care about it coming back. I've got better things to watch and I don't watch anything on ABC anyway. However, I had a feeling it was coming back due to when Seacrest signed off and then said, "For now."

ABC asked Simon Cowell to return to the show, but he has no interest in coming back at all.

Well I always knew it would return at some point. It was a given how popular it was but this was fast.
It's just odd that ABC thinks it went off too soon while throwing jabs at FOX. It was on for over 10 years and went through various judges. It's fine to bring it back but it's funny how spiteful they're coming off.

Chris Daughtry and Katy Perry are reportedly going to be a judges on the show. Daughtry would be interesting, but I'm not really Katy Perry's biggest fan.

I like the idea of Chris Daughtry judging and I'm not against Katy Perry either.

Today marks the 15th anniversary of when the first episode of the series aired on television. So it makes sense that ABC and Katy Perry would announce the audition dates today.

Lionel Richie is being eyed to join the judge's panel. If this were to happen, he'd be the second guest-judge to become a full-time judge after Perry. He served as a guest judge during the top 8 Billboard #1s theme way back in season 2.

ABC is right now considering Lionel Richie, Luke Bryan and Charlie Puth as the latest additions to judges' panel. Richie seems the most likely join because he's an international favorite, Bryan would make sense given ABC's history with Country Music and Puth is seen as the least likely to join.
