American Idol started its three-night finale tonight, but this will not be the final season of American Idol. Well, it might be in its current format.
Simon Fuller, the man that created the series, already has plans to revive the competition series. The Hollywood Reporter revealed his plans to revive the series in a new interview. He said the following:
“There will no doubt be another format or refinement or elevation of the format. Now I can actually revamp it and come up with a new version. And we can look back on 15 seasons and think of some legitimate ways to allow people to enjoy them again, maybe adding another dimension to it.”
Fuller also revealed that the next incarnation of American Idol will take into account the digital technology now available with streaming services like Netflix and Hulu available. He said that he plans to make American Idol more “interactive” and “a lot more immersive.”
He did not reveal when he will bring back American Idol in its new format, but it sounds like it will happen after a break.
Are you sad to see American Idol end? Do you want to see it back on the air in a new format? Tell us what you think.

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thankyou thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A.I. should return! My husband and I find it great entertainment. This show goes on the road to places where the young people may not have the money to transport long distances to audition. I like the bottom three must sing for deliverance and the judges decide who to keep (don’t want to lose one like Pia Toscano). So much GREAT talent came from A.I. I would like the same judges and Ryan to return.
These young people that have talent deserve to get discovered and American Idol did that. But the key factor have the right judges……..
Bring it back with judges that no how to judge.For I find they made a lot of wrong decisions. And telling the contestants they where going to win when they did not no how was going to win. Bad word choices.
I would love to see american idol brought back on because i really love this show. I dont want to see it go.
bring it BACK!!! its been a part of our lives for so long and we welcomed it inot our living room every week. Theres a special bond that viewers the judges, ryan and the performers have!! nothing can touch it…bring it back soon pleaseeee.
Let it die. It had a good run. Let that stand as its legacy.
Keep American Idol. There aren’t many shows that families can enjoy and participate in together anymore. It seems more super stars are created on tThe Idol than other similar shows. Why let it go?
I agree with Greg. I too want The X Factor revived for a fourth season.
What about reviving Take Me Out for a second season?
No way, I would rather see The X Factor being revived.
