"American Idol" revival has been renewed for second season by ABC.
Judges Katy Perry, Luke Bryan, Lionel Richie are set to return next season along with host Ryan Seacrest, reported Deadline.
"We knew that 'American Idol' on ABC would unleash an opportunity for singers from all walks of life to realise their dreams and that these incredible contestants would have America rooting for their success.
"I am thrilled that Katy, Luke, Lionel and Ryan will be back to once again embark on this Idol journey with us to discover the next crop of inspiring talent," said Channing Dungey, president, ABC Entertainment.
ABC's pickup of the singing competition ended a long saga of getting "American Idol" back on TV when the network closed a deal last year with FremantleMedia North America and CORE Media Group's 19 Entertainment for a revival, two seasons after it ended its 15-season run on Fox.
