The final season premiered on January 6th.
At the winter TCA press tour, the series’ executive producer Trish Kinane announced first-season winner Kelly Clarkson will appear as a guest judge on the first live episode. Word is previous winners and finalists David Cook, Jordin Sparks, Ruben Studdard, Kris Allen, Scotty McCreery, Lauren Alaina and Nick Fradiani, who won last year’s season, will also make an appearance throughout the season.
