For the most recent American Idol seasons, the contestants who “made it through” depend on which year and round you mean, but there are clear highlights from the latest cycles.

Who made it through most recently?

2026: Season 24 – latest stage

Season 24 is currently airing in early 2026, and the show has just moved past Hollywood Week into the next phase.

  • The Top 30 for Season 24 has been revealed after the end of Hollywood Week, meaning these are the singers who “made it through” from auditions and Hollywood.
  • This season’s Hollywood Week was filmed in Nashville , with the episode that finalized the Top 30 airing just before March 3, 2026.

(Names for the full Top 30 list are still being rolled out in entertainment coverage; many outlets are teasing them as a group rather than in a tidy, finalized roster right now.)

2025: Who made it all the way?

In 2025, American Idol Season 23 finished and we know exactly who made it through to the very end.

Final outcome for Season 23 (2025):

  • Winner: Jamal Roberts – he advanced through every live show and was crowned champion in the May 2025 finale.
  • Runner‑up: John Foster – consistently “safe” through the eliminations and then finished second.
  • Third place: Breanna Nix – reached the finale and finished third.

These three are the ones who definitively “made it through” the entire 2025 competition, from early live rounds to the very last votes.

2024: Recent season people still talk about

Because Season 22 (aired in 2024) was heavily streamed and discussed online, many fans searching “who made it through on American Idol” are thinking of this run as well.

For Season 22:

  • Winner: Abi Carter – advanced week after week and ultimately won the season.
  • Runner‑up: Will Moseley – made it through to the finale and finished second.
  • Third place: Jack Blocker – also reached the finale and placed third.

Simple answer if you’re catching up

  • If you mean right now in 2026 : the big milestone is that Season 24’s Top 30 have just been set after Hollywood Week , so those singers are the ones who “made it through” most recently.
  • If you mean who made it through to win in the latest completed seasons:
    • Jamal Roberts won Season 23 in 2025.
* **Abi Carter** won Season 22 in 2024.

If you tell which episode or date you just watched (e.g., “Top 24 cut” or “Hawaii week”), a more precise list of who advanced in that specific round can be narrowed down.
