Uncertainty Surrounds American Idol Season 24 Judges
As American Idol prepares for its 24th season in 2026, the makeup of its judges' panel remains in question. Luke Bryan, a judge since 2018, has not confirmed his return, describing his decision as year-by-year but remaining enthusiastic about the show. Carrie Underwood, who joined as a judge and former winner, is seen by Bryan as likely to return, although she has faced some criticism regarding her judging and has not committed to another season, saying only that returning would be 'cool.' ABC has officially renewed American Idol for another season, but no formal announcements have been made about the judges. Both Bryan and Underwood are balancing the show with other personal and professional obligations. Such uncertainty around the judges' panel is typical for the long-running franchise.
