But what about the judges including Luke Bryan?
According to Variety, Katy Perry’s $25 million dollar contract may prompt a change in the judging panel.
At ABC’s upfronts (preview their upcoming fall and midseason series for advertisers) Ryan Seacrest was the only one there to represent.
He is reportedly under a long term deal.

Another possible sign? The fact that non of the judges tweeted about the shows renewal although Luke did plug the season finale
