TMZ said the music competition show's producers have made the country music star an offer, but it is unclear if he has accepted it.

Lionel Richie and Charlie Puth are also rumored to be under consideration as panelists.

"American Idol" ran for 15 seasons on FOX before ending in 2016, with Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban, Harry Connick, Jr. as judges.

The revival is expected to premiere on ABC in 2018.

Series host Ryan Seacrest recently confirmed he will be returning.
