Seven has already confirmed a returning date for Australian Idol of Monday January 29, with a flashy new promo which focuses on aspiring singers, not the judges.
Twenty years after Guy Sebastian pipped Shannon Noll to become Australia’s first Idol, the international star-making sensation returns to Seven and 7plus for a second big season on Monday, 29 January 2024.
Radio king Kyle Sandilands and TV Week Logie Award winner and acclaimed singer Amy Shark will be joined by a new judge: Australian Idol OG and pop legend Marcia Hines. The trio will traverse the country to find the next Guy, Casey or Royston.
Set to be the toughest season yet, with only room for the best of the best, the judges are looking for the complete package: a singer with the sound and style to woo the nation.
A global success since 2001, the Idol franchise has launched the careers of many Aussie and international music icons including Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson and Adam Lambert.
Hosts Ricki-Lee and Scott Tweedie are back to help make dreams come true. Australian Idol is produced by Eureka Productions for the Seven Network.

Didn’t they switch to all the auditions to one location this year?
I believe judges are predominantly in Sydney (with some limited field travel). Producer auditions are probably interstate.
There’s day night test cricket at the gabba that night day 5 I believe… should be waiting til test summer is finished… plus idol was a big disappointment with only 5 or 6 live shows and 2 elimin a tons a week… in America they do a top 100…
Agreed. Two mins of people walking essentially.
Could be ten seconds and still achieve the same thing.
“Flashy new promo”
I fell asleep during it. Absolute snoozefest
