“This is the biggest show that ever was or will ever be for discovering talent and if you want to be a part of the historic last season, you’ve got to come out and audition,” Ryan added.

Fox has already announced that current judges Jennifer Lopez, Harry Connick Jr. and Keith Urban will all return for the show’s send-off season.

Fans will have to wait to see as to what role, if any, the original judging lineup of Paula Abdul, Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson have.
