The American Idol Revival Has Its First Two Judges - Who Will Be the Third?

It's official: American Idol is coming back, and the long-running musical competition program is slowly but surely filling up its judge's table. The show aired its 15th and final season on Fox in 2016, and now that it's transitioned over to ABC, a few changes are being made. While Ryan Seacrest is continuing his role as host, a new set of judges are ready to take over for Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban, and Harry Connick, Jr.

The first to announce their involvement in the American Idol reboot was Katy Perry in May, who we can totally see filling the quirky "good cop" role on the show. Although both Lionel Richie and Charlie Puth were in the running to be the second judge, the spot went to country singer Luke Bryan, who has been in consideration for the role by ABC execs since July. The third and final vacancy still needs to be filled, but given Perry's reported $25-million contract, the last spot will likely go to someone who has a much lower profile.

Auditions for the new season kicked off in Florida in August, and the show is expected to premiere in March on Sundays and Mondays.
