Instead of focusing on a city in each episode as had been the case in previous seasons, each episode this season showed a compilation of auditions from different cities. Those who passed their first audition went in front of the producers, where they would be selected to appear before the judges in different cities. In June 2017, it was announced that American Idol would begin two bus tours in 19 cities, and this was later increased to 22, for auditions beginning on August 17, 2017. On April 23, 2018, ABC announced that the April 29, May 6, and May 13 live shows of the season would air across all mainland U.S. On February 21, 2018, it was announced that iHeartRadio radio personality Bobby Bones would serve as the mentor for the top 24 this season. On September 24, Luke Bryan was announced for a second judge, and on September 29, Lionel Richie was announced as the final. On May 16, 2017, Katy Perry was the first judge to be announced by ABC. On July 20, 2017, it was announced on Live with Kelly and Ryan that Ryan Seacrest would return as host for the revival season. On November 6, 2017, it was announced that the revival would premiere on March 11, 2018.

Later, ABC announced that it had acquired the rights to the series and that American Idol would return for the 2017–18 television season. Iin May 2017, it was announced that ABC was making a bid to revive the program.
A dispute between Fremantle and Core Media Group derailed these plans. In early 2017, Variety reported that FremantleMedia was in talks to revive the show for either NBC or Fox. Maddie Poppe won this season on May 21, 2018, while Caleb Lee Hutchinson was the runner-up, and Gabby Barrett finished in third place. It was the show's first season to air on ABC, and after 15 years, Ryan Seacrest continued his role as host, while Luke Bryan, Katy Perry, and Lionel Richie joined the show as judges. The sixteenth season of American Idol premiered on March 11, 2018, on the ABC television network.
