After more than 20 seasons, American Idol continues to captivate the audience with its segments and talents. Now, it’s not only time for the 2024 edition to kick off, but many are already eagerly anticipating when the dreaded Hollywood Week will begin.

Season 22, featuring Katy Perry (who has already confirmed that this will be her last participation), Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan as judges once again, will start with auditions in various cities, where contestants aim to impress a panel of celebrities with their unique vocal skills and vibrant personalities.

After the initial stage, the selected participants move on to HW, which is an intense series of challenges and performances that further filter the contestants. This is where everything becomes more chaotic, and the artists must give their all to avoid being left halfway.

Hollywood Week of Season 22 will take place from Sunday, March 31, to Monday, April 1. During this crucial segment, there will only be two episodes where the contestants selected during the initial auditions undergo several rounds of performances.

This special serves to refine and select the strongest and most promising participants who will advance in the competition. Contestants face a series of challenges, such as individual performances, group performances, and specific tests that test the versatility and adaptability of the competitors.

During these episodes, individual stories of the artists are built, showcasing their strengths, challenges, and progression in the competition. But not everything is rosy, as it also puts the contestants under intense pressure and competition.

This is because the program aims to identify talents that can stand out not only in terms of vocal ability but also in their ability to handle stress and competition. It’s a significant moment in the reality show, so tune in on Sunday through ABC starting at 8 PM EST.
