American Idol Season 23
- Feb 9, 2025
American Idol has been entertaining audiences for two decades, airing on Fox from 2002 until 2016, before it was revived after a two-year break in 2018.
The show, based on the British TV version Pop Idol, recruits a team of expert judges to find the best unsigned talent across America, with the audience deciding who will win via public vote.
The winner will receive a record deal with a respected label, a management contract, and additional contracts.
The show has produced some of the biggest singers in the world, including Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood. Also, many contestants have enjoyed global success since appearing on the show, including Jennifer Hudson, Chris Daughtry, and Adam Lambert.
However, it’s not only the contestants that change, as the judges, network, and timeslot will often alter throughout the seasons.
With American Idol Season 23 on the horizon, some big changes might be coming to the show in the near future. Keep reading for all the details.

When Will American Idol Season 23 Air?
ABC announced American Idol will return for its 23rd season in 2025. However, a premiere time and date for the show has yet to be announced, but it is likely to follow in the footsteps of past seasons and air in February.
Who Are the American Idol Season 23 Judges?
The judging panel will look a little different during season 23, as Katy Perry recently announced she is leaving American Idol after seven seasons as a judge.
Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan are expected to return to their judging seats in 2025, and rumors are already swirling about who might replace Perry.
Word on the street is Miley Cyrus could take over from the “Firework” singer. The singer isn’t a stranger to the competition show, as she’s appeared as a guest judge and performed on its stage many times.
Also, there is no doubt Meghan Trainor has the voice, personality, and quirky style that could make her a natural replacement for Katy Perry. Also, she’s judged various competition shows over the past seven years, serving as a judge on The Four: Battle for Stardom (2018), The Voice UK (2020), and Australian Idol (2023).
The “All About That Bass” singer is eager to claim the empty seat, as she recently revealed on Watch What Happens with Andy Cohen that she has begged to take over from Katy.
The singer said, “I’ve done every interview in the world and said that that is my dream job, and I’ve emailed three awesome people who work in that world.”
Only time will tell if her begging pays off, but ABC might have their eyes set on other famous singers, such as Tori Kelly, Pink, Dua Lipa, Jennifer Lopez, and Camillo Cabello, to name a few.
Who Will Host Season 23?
Ryan Seacrest has hosted American Idol since the show first started in 2002, and 2025 looks to be no exception, as he is scheduled to return.
