One of the judges on the longtime show when it permanently left Fox in 2016, JLo revealed this week at NBCU Summer Press Day that she is unaware of any potential reboot.

“I haven’t heard anything about that,” she says. “I know nothing about that.”

According to a report in Variety, though, executives for Idol are said to be in talks with NBC to bring back the one-time ratings juggernaut, which ran for 15 seasons and saw the discovery of big-name stars Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Kellie Pickler, Scotty McCreery and more.
