One of television’s most recognizable singing competitions is reportedly getting a new home - and it’s coming to Georgia.

American Idol is preparing to move production from Los Angeles to metro Atlanta for its upcoming 25th season, marking a significant change for a show that has been closely associated with Hollywood for more than two decades.

The production company behind American Idol has confirmed the move, although the exact metro Atlanta location has not yet been announced.

Trading Hollywood for Georgia

Since American Idol debuted in 2002, Hollywood has played a major role in the show, with aspiring singers from across the country making their way to Los Angeles as they compete for a chance at stardom.

That tradition is about to look a little different.

The move brings another major television production to Georgia, which has developed into one of the country's leading destinations for film and television production.

Current judges Luke Bryan, Lionel Richie and Carrie Underwood are expected to return for the upcoming season.

For Georgia fans, the move could make American Idol feel a little closer to home. One of the biggest unanswered questions is exactly where in metro Atlanta production will take place and whether the new location could eventually create opportunities for Georgia fans to attend tapings or other Idol-related events.

Additional details about the show's new Georgia home have not yet been announced.
