When is the American Idol season 20 finale?
The American Idol season 20 finale is scheduled to take place on Sunday, May 22.
Who is the American Idol host?
Ryan Seacrest has been the host of American Idol since the very beginning (he actually had a co-host for the first season, Brian Dunkleman, remember?) and he continues to serve as the guiding hand of the reality competition series for this latest season.
Who are the American Idol judges?
Also back for another go around are Katy Perry, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan as the American Idol judges. The trio have been together since season 16 debuted on ABC. As this will be the trio's fifth season on the show, it makes them the longest tenured judges since the original group of Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson.
One recent American Idol mainstay not returning for season 20 is advisor Bobby Bones; he is working on another TV project on a different network.
One other bit of news from behind-the-scenes, Deadline has reported that American Idol showrunner Trish Kinane is stepping down after handling the job since season 15 (it's last on Fox). Megan Michaels Wolflick, who has been with the show in various roles for 15 years, will take over as showrunner for season 20.
Is there an American Idol season 20 trailer
The first official look at American Idol season 20 was shown during a recent Television Critics Association event. The trailer previews some of the cities that American Idol held its season 20 auditions in, including Los Angeles, Austin and Nashville. We also get to see some of the new batch of talent that will be vying for the title of the next American Idol and a peek at a new wrinkle to the competition, a platinum ticket that gives three contestants in each audition city a shortcut in the competition (what exactly that is wasn't fully explained).

ABC has also shared a fun promo for the new season featuring Ryan Seacrest, Lionel Richie, Katy Perry and Luke Bryan that have them imagining what their lives would be like if they hadn't been discovered:
What is the American Idol platinum ticket?
As previewed in the American Idol season 20 trailer, there is a new wrinkle for this season, the platinum ticket. American Idol contestants have always been shooting for a golden ticket that signified they were moving on to the next round of the competition, Hollywood week; the platinum ticket is a step up, as it will give a select number of contestants an advantage during Hollywood week.
According to The Wrap, reporting from the winter Television Critics Association event, there are three platinum tickets that were available to contestants at each of the three auditions, so nine in total. Whoever earns one of those tickets gets to skip competing in the first day of Hollywood week, instead watching from the theater to rest their voice, strategize and check out the competition.
"They get a tiny advantage because they're the cream of the crop," said Katy Perry during the event.
How to watch American Idol season 20
American Idol airs on ABC, one of the major four U.S. networks that is available to any viewer that has a traditional cable/satellite pay-TV subscription or a TV antenna to receive their local ABC station signal. The network is also available on live TV streaming services like FuboTV, Hulu with Live TV and YouTube TV.
Subscribers to these services will be able to watch the latest episodes (should they miss them live) the day after they air on ABC.com. You can also catch up with the latest episodes if you are a Hulu subscriber. Past episodes of American Idol are also available to watch on ABC.com or on Hulu.
Outside of the U.S., American Idol has traditionally aired on CityTV in Canada the same day as the U.S. broadcast and on Netflix in the U.K., a couple of days after its U.S. airing. Though not confirmed, that will likely be the case again for season 20.
Another option for watching American Idol outside the U.S. is with a virtual private network, or VPN. A VPN lets you get around the usual frustrating digital barriers by changing your IP address, meaning you can watch your favorite TV shows even if you're going to be away from home.
Our favorite is ExpressVPN, which lets you change your IP address on whichever device you want to watch your new favorite show on.
