American Idol Might Return - on NBC

Variety reports that NBC and production company Fremantle Media are in talks to revive the singing competition.

At its peak, it was a ubiquitous cultural phenomenon, averaging 36.4 million viewers in 2006, a number no longer seen on TV outside of political or sporting events.

Creator Simon Fuller said, "Idol will certainly be coming back for sure" while Season 15 was still airing.

[...] host Ryan Seacrest signed off the final episode by saying, "Good night, America... for now."
