ABC has renewed American Idol for its 21st season, two weeks before its 20th season finale
This shows the network's trust in his singing. In comparison, it's been months since The Voice wrapped up its 21st season and NBC has yet to announce its renewal status
There is a chance it will be known as season 6 when it comes out in 2023. This is because this is ABC's 6th season and the network started counting its seasons when it acquired the hit series
However, with this season known almost exclusively as Season 20 thanks to the anniversary reasoning, there is a possibility to look back in history and call it Season 21
That's also good news for fans who still prefer to watch cable, as American Idol will still be on ABC. Another Disney series, Dancing with the Stars, will be moving to the Disney+streaming platform
ABC also promotes its rankings this season, which are actually 15% higher than they were for Season 19 when it comes to the demo ratings of adults aged 18 to 49
