American Idol's thirteenth-season judging panel will feature Jennifer Lopez, Harry Connick Jr. and Keith Urban. Randy Jackson will no longer serve as a regular judge on the panel, as he will take on the in-house mentor role following Jimmy Iovine's departure instead.
Ryan Seacrest -- "the heart and soul of Idol," according to the network -- will also reprise his role as host.
