American Idol Carrie Underwood Returning As Season 24 Judge?
American Idol judge Carrie Underwood made a splash when she accepted the job following Katy Perry’s departure. So far, there has not been any official announcement about whether or not all three judges will return for Season 24.
Some fans seem to think that Underwood hinted that she could be making a return. During a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, it seemed as though Carrie was hinting at a possible return.
When asked about coming back for a second season as judge, she said, “I don’t know! There’s lots to contemplate.” While her answer was vague, she did seem to really enjoy going back to her roots and being able to judge these new, talented singers. Her body language seemed to indicate she knew the answer but was not at liberty to reveal the truth.
Other Hints She Is Returning
Carrie Underwood’s vague hints about coming back as a Season 24 judge are not the only hints that she will be back. Showrunner and executive producer Megan Michaels spoke with TV Line recently and also touched on American Idol returning for Season 24.
She spoke of how she thinks Carrie did during her premiere season as a judge. She also discussed the possibility of all three judges returning. Megan said,
“It’s early days still, but I love our panel. I think we’re in a good place. I’m excited for them to crown their first winner together as a threesome. They’re all passionate about the show. Obviously, American Idol is coming back as a show, and we already have thousands of submissions coming in for next season. So the momentum is coming, but we’ll have to stay tuned. We never share our hand before the end of the season, but it should be coming soon, and we’re excited about the show doing so well.”
As for how Carrie Underwood did as a judge for Season 23 of American Idol, Michaels says she did great. Although she was stepping into Katy Perry’s shoes, she nailed it. Carrie really brought a lot to the table.
Having been an American Idol winner, Underwood brought a nostalgia factor into this season. There were plenty of flashbacks to her time competing during Season 4. Having been there before, she was a great choice to guide some of these new talents toward success.
Michaels said she had to carve out her own role, and she did a great job of it. Carrie knows how hard she was pushed week after week during her own season, and so she tried to give some of that back to the contestants. Michaels also said she hopes everyone loved Carrie as a judge as much as they did.
