The
American Idol 2018
schedule has yet to be announced, but early details suggest the series
could be adjusted to support the return of Ryan Seacrest as the show’s
host.
While it’s been widely
expected and rumored that ABC was working to make Ryan Seacrest part of
the American Idol 2018 return nothing has been made official just yet.
But if they want to get him on board then they’re going to have to work
around his busy schedule.
According
to PageSix.com,
ABC is looking to put American Idol on Sunday nights as a way to avoid
an overlay with Seacrest’s weekday obligations for Live with Kelly &
Ryan. That’d certainly be easier than the other talks about having Ryan
fly back and forth several times a week, dashing between his shows.
Should American Idol’s new schedule air on Sundays that could mean
we’re sticking with just one episode a week once things hit the
performance and
results phase of the season. ABC did this back
in 2013 with DWTS as well so the network is probably comfortable with this approach.
But
according to Variety,
ABC has committed to 40 hours of American Idol broadcasts and there’s
no easy way to get there with one night a week episodes through the
whole season. Maybe we’ll get a run of nights during the early stages
then taper back to once a week with live show performances and results
to work with Ryan’s schedule.
So much going on with the
American Idol revival on ABC and that’s bringing a lot of questions
that we’re excited to have answered. Stick with us on
