M-Net is bringing American Idol mania to 101! So just who will be the next American Idol?
The 16th season of American Idol will air Fridays and Saturdays on M-Net channel 101 from Friday 13 April, 2018 at 7pm until 9pm. Award-winner Ryan Seacrest returns to host this popular music competition series, bringing with him his larger-than-life personality.
Joining him as judges of the next generation of superstars are Grammy and Emmy-nominated music luminary Katy Perry, country music superstar Luke Bryan and music icon Lionel Richie.
The ‘Idol’ alumni
American Idol’s profound effect on the music industry is far-reaching and continually growing, launching the careers of superstars such as Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson, Katharine McPhee, Jordin Sparks, Adam Lambert and Chris Daughtry among many others.
The Idol alumni are responsible for 13 Grammys, over 61 million album sales, 47 Platinum records, 444 Billboard no. 1 hits, 257 million digital downloads, two Golden Globes and an Academy Award.
To accommodate the premiere of American Idols season 16, which has already started in the US, Nashville season 5 and Riverdale season 2 will take a scheduling break. This scheduling break will ensure that the channel goes live with the finale of the reality competition. New episodes for Nashville season 5 will return on Friday 4 May at 9pm and Riverdale season 2 returns on Saturday 28 April, 2018 at 8pm.
