"American Idol" to Stream Live on Disney+ and Launches Companion Podcast
"American Idol" to Stream Live on Disney+ for the First Time, Launches Companion Podcast (EXCLUSIVE)
by Michael Schneider Feb. 3, 2026 Disney+ is going to Hollywood! Starting next month, “American Idol” will stream live on Disney+ in addition to ABC for the first time. (The show will also continue to stream tape-delayed the next day on Hulu). That means “American Idol” will join “Dancing With the Stars” as a live unscripted competition series that simulcasts on both ABC and Disney+. Concurrently with the news, Disney+ and Hulu are also launching the companion “American Idol Official Podcast.” The premiere of the new video podcast will coincide with the start of “American Idol” live shows at the end of March. Both pieces of news were announced Tuesday at Miami’s Realscreen Summit, on a panel hosted by this reporter. Besides Disney+ and Hulu, the “American Idol” Official Podcast will be available on other podcasting platforms as well; host and other details are still to come. Per the podcast logline: “Each week, the podcast will dive deeper into America’s most iconic music competition series, exploring the performances everyone’s talking about, and offering exclusive interviews, behind-the-scenes insights, and expert analysis of the judges’ critiques.” https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/ame...st-1236650160/ |
