<p class="has-medium-font-size">The stage is set, and the spotlight is back on as the historic star-maker competition series &#8220;American Idol&#8221; gears up for its 22nd season on ABC. Fans across the nation are in for a treat as music industry legends and iconic judges, Luke Bryan, Katy Perry, and Lionel Richie, reunite to discover America&#8217;s next singing sensation. With veteran host Ryan Seacrest at the helm, the search for the next superstar is about to captivate audiences once again.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">Last season, &#8220;American Idol&#8221; dominated the Sunday 8-10 p.m. time slot, ranking as the No. 1 program among Adults 18-49 and solidifying its position as the top-rated program in its time period for the fourth consecutive year. Not stopping there, the show proved its immense popularity by claiming ABC&#8217;s No. 1 program spot in both Total Viewers and Adults 18-49. With nearly 1 billion social video views, &#8220;American Idol&#8221; stood tall as the No. 1 most social reality series across all television, leaving no doubt that its reach extends far beyond the television screen.</p>
