"The most iconic nationwide search for a superstar is back!" they shared. "Hopefuls aged between 15 and 28 are invited to showcase their talents from anywhere in Australia by either uploading a video or singing face-to-face with an Australian Idol producer for a chance to proceed to the judges’ audition round of the competition."

Seven first announced they would be rebooting Australian Idol way back in 2020 and at the time said the show would be returning in 2022, however, it has since been pushed to next year.

At the time, Angus Ross, Seven's Director of Programming, said, "Idol is the granddaddy of them all! The biggest show in the world comes to Seven in 2022, and we know Australians are going to love it.

"We can't wait to bring Idol back to Australian audiences in 2022, putting our prime time content line-up even further ahead of the competition."

Australian Idol previously aired on Channel Ten from 2003 to 2009 with its first season finale attracting more viewers than the AFL Grand Final.
