Aloha from Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa! We have an exciting update on the upcoming season of “American Idol” on ABC!
Music industry legends and all-star judges Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie, along with Emmy-winning producer and host Ryan Seacrest and official Idol in house mentor Bobby Bones, continued the search for the next superstar during the series’ iconic showcase rounds right here at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa in Ko Olina, Hawaii, on Monday, Jan. 28, 2019. Joining the celebration was our beloved Minnie Mouse.
“American Idol” returns to The ABC Television Network for its second season on Sunday, March 3 (8 – 10 p.m. EST), after first making its return to airwaves as the No. 1 reality show launch for its inaugural season on the network during the 2017-2018 season.
