Since American Idol was brought back to life on ABC, following its cancellation on Fox, those on the judges’ seats have been consistent. Celebrities Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, and Luke Bryan have been on the Idol journey since its revival.
The network has renewed the singing competition series, which means another shot for to achieve their musical dreams! We’re expecting season 21 to air sometime in Feb. or March 2023, which follows the scheduling pattern of seasons prior.
And, this Sunday, we’ll have already reached the end of another season and a new winner will be crowned. Throughout the season, the judges have chosen and guided Idol hopefuls. So will we see this trio back again next year?
Will the same judges be back for American Idol season 21?
As of right now, we don’t have 100% confirmation whether Perry, Richie, and Bryan will be back for American Idol season 21. But, all three judges have been on the panel for five years now, so it’s very likely they’ll choose to return. All three also work very well together, which has kept the ABC Entertainment President hopeful as well.
The network’s president, Craig Erwich, told Deadline it’s very likely the trio will once again take their seats to help search for the next American Idol. He said:
I thought the chemistry that solidified among them this season was amazing and we’re looking forward to having that same chemistry next year.
Where does that leave host Ryan Seacrest? It hasn’t been confirmed yet whether the leading man will take up his duties once again, but Erwich expects Seacrest to be back as well.
While we don’t have the complete reassurance of seeing the faces we now attribute to American Idol, there’s no cause for worry. According to Deadline, the series is typically renewed in May and the judges and host resign their contracts in the summer.
The American Idol “Grand Finale” is set for Sunday, May 22 on ABC. The episode will air at 8 p.m. ET/PT and will be available to stream on Hulu the next day.
