'American Idol' Judges Katy Perry, Lionel Richie & Luke Bryan Returning for Season 3 on ABC8/5/2019 Judges Katy Perry, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie will all return for season 3 of The newly revamped 'American Idol'.
The new deals arrive as ABC had renewed the Fremantle-produced unscripted singing competition series for a third cycle on the network back in May. At the time, Perry, Bryan and Richie had offers to return but had not closed new deals. Not yet signed is host Ryan Seacrest. ABC Entertainment president Karey Burke said Monday (Aug. 5) at the Television Critics Association's summer press tour that the network is in negotiations with Seacrest: "I do not believe he will be missing," she said. "We're in ongoing conversations with Ryan about returning, and I'm hopeful that he will." "American Idol is the original music competition series,” said Burke in a statement. “It was the first of its kind to take everyday singers and catapult them into superstardom, launching the careers of so many amazing artists. We couldn’t be more excited for Katy, Luke, Lionel and Bobby to continue in their roles as American Idol searches for the next great music star, with more live episodes and exciting, new creative elements coming this season.” Auditions for season three on ABC — set for a spring 2020 return already started July 23 in Brooklyn.
