This might put a song in your heart. Although it’s not yet up on the press site, the American Idol TV show revival will air on ABC on Sundays from 8:00pm to 10:00pm ET. The new series will premiere on March 11, 2018. Host Ryan Seacrest announced the American Idol release date this morning on LIVE with Kelly and Ryan.
Auditions for the American Idol reboot kicked off in August. Luke Bryan, Katy Perry, and Lionel Richie will serve as the new judging panel for the competitive singing reality TV series on ABC.

OK, I agree with myself and no one else does. Happy? I just don’t get why I get the thumbs down.
I agree with you The X Factor was much better. American Idol hasn’t been good since Simon left
Good to hear! A missing link to your article, who is the fourth judge?
“Auditions for the American Idol reboot are slated to kick off in August.” Umm… it’s November…
Thanks.
That’s great! Now, let’s have The X Factor USA back next year, as well.
