According to TMZ, ABC wants Katy Perry to judge American Idol. Negotiations have begun between both parties. Katy may rearrange her tour dates for the show.

It seems that Katy Perry is in the track to signing on, but they still need at least two more seats to fill.

ABC also wants to sign Coldplay’s Chris Martin as a judge. A source tells the Daily Mirror; “ABC bosses were keen to get Chris on board as soon as the new series was given the green light. Chris is a great performer and they think he would make the perfect judge. He’s had some massive hits and his music is known universally so would bring some credibility.”

Although many aren’t excited, the American Idol reboot is happening, but the process of elimination with the judge is fun to watch until the show actually comes back.
