When Is “American Idol” Returning? – We Finally Have The Answer
on Dec 03, 2021
The last season of American Idol wrapped up on May 23. Chayce Beckham was named the winner of the season, and Willie Spence was the runner-up.
In August, Idol announced that all of its judges (Luke Bryan, Katy Perry, and Lionel Richie) would be returning for its 20th season in 2022. The show also announced that host Ryan Seacrest would be returning to host the “historic” season.

Auditions for Season 20 have been held throughout the latter part of 2021. But even though the Idol judges and crew have been hard at work, fans had no idea when to expect the next season.
The show began teasing its Season 20 premiere date. In November, they tossed fans a bone by sharing that “Season 20 starts in early 2022!”
