Who are the American Idol judges now?

The current roster of American Idol judges includes pop star Katy Perry, country superstar Luke Bryan, and music industry legend Lionel Richie.

In May 2023, the show has been renewed for its seventh season on ABC, its 22nd season overall.

Speaking with Parade, Richie shared that he cannot imagine the show without the three of them at the helm.

“When you get three knuckleheads that have careers solid in their own right, getting a chance to get our egos out of the way, where we just allow the kids to shine, and it’s not about us per se, is the best.

“What I’m loving the most is that I can actually play with this superstar [Luke] and that other superstar [Katy], and we all don’t take it personal, and that’s what makes the element work for the kids. Because the more honest we can be with them and ourselves, they get to see how we really want them to act.”
