'American Idol' Renewed For Another Season
The announcement of the Top 3 and the Finale lineup came on the heels of the recent renewal of the "Idol" franchise on ABC for another season next year.
American Idol premiered on Fox in 2002. This renewal marks the singing competition's sixth on ABC, but it's 21st overall.
Just like "The Voice," which has recently announced that its mainstay Kelly Clarkson will be replaced by Camilla Cabello and Ariana Grande with Gwen Stefani, news, of whether the "Idol" judges be replaced or retained, has not yet been announced.
The three-hour Season finale will air live coast-to-coast on ABC beginning at 8 p.m. ET on May 22, 2022 (Sunday).
