And the winner for the best TV promo of 2022 goes too…
The Seven Network has released a visually stunning new extended trailer teasing the brand new season of Australian Idol. After a long absence and some COVID-related delays, the original international star-making phenomenon is back.
The new trailer, set to the Rihanna hit “Shine Bright Like A Diamond” provides the first look at some of new contestants set to appear in the rebooted series, and a cheeky Kyle Sandilands reminding viewers he intends to “keep it real”.
Australian Idol is set to make its long-awaited return early next year with Channel 7 hoping its massive investment in the classic music series will provide powerful competition for Married At First Sight and Australian Survivor in the ratings.
Seven Networks Head of Programming Angus Ross telling TV Blackbox;
“The best thing about this show is bringing back live television”
“It’s a big swing for Q1, but I think there’s still a lot of positive nostalgia about this show.”
The all-new Australian Idol will travel the country searching for wannabe stars, with massive live episodes and results shows as the competition heats up.
Helping unearth the next idol to take Australia by storm will be celebrated American Idol judge and multiple GRAMMY award-winner Harry Connick Jr; powerhouse GRAMMY award-winning singer-songwriter Meghan Trainor; unfiltered and unapologetic top-rating broadcaster Kyle Sandilands; and beloved eight-time ARIA Award-winning singer-songwriter Amy Shark.
Plus original Australian Idol judge Marcia Hines is now confirmed to be appearing in a special guest role.
The unmissable new series will be hosted by Ricki-Lee and Scott Tweedie, and produced by Eureka Productions for the Seven Network.
