Australian Idol is an Australian singing competition, which began its first season in July 2003 and ended its original run in November 2009 before being revived in January 2023. As part of the Idol franchise, Australian Idol originated from the reality program Pop Idol, which was created by British entertainment executive Simon Fuller. Australian Idol was televised on Network Ten for its first seven series and was broadcast on Austereo Radio Network between 2005 and 2007.

In the series we will meet a number of talented singers who aim to be part of a band. To form their bond, they'll have one-on-one conversations (and singing sessions) to figure out who they have the best chemistry with. Only when they decide who they want to form a band with do the different members get to see each other. From then on, they will have to work together to achieve the best performance.
