ABC has officially renewed American Idol for its milestone 25th season. Season 25 will be the show's 10th season on ABC after the network revived American Idol in 2018 following its original run on Fox. If you've ever dreamed of stepping onto the Idol stage, auditions are just around the corner. The nationwide virtual audition event, "Idol Across America," is set to kick off August 25, giving hopeful singers from across the U.S. an opportunity to audition for producers from wherever they are. While ABC hasn't officially confirmed the judging panel for the upcoming season, Luke Bryan, Lionel Richie, and Carrie Underwood are expected to return.
