Broadcasting company ABC has renewed singing reality show American Idol for a fourth season.
The news comes ahead of the current season's live finale on Sunday.
The top seven going into the finale are Arthur Gunn, Dillon James, Francisco Martin, Jonny West, Julia Gargano, Just Sam, and Louis Knight.
According to Variety, the network did not reveal if the judges -- Katy Perry, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie -- along with host Ryan Seacrest, would return for the new season.
