The announcement follows a series of behind-the-scenes posts from members of the judging panel, fuelling speculation that the show’s return was imminent.
Last week, Bangash shared a video of herself getting ready for filming before appearing on the Pakistan Idol set alongside fellow judge Bilal Maqsood.
“It takes a village,” she wrote in the caption, thanking her team.
Maqsood also posted photos featuring Bangash and fellow judge Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, captioning the images with smiling emojis, while judge and music composer Shuja Haider shared a behind-the-scenes video from the judging panel on Instagram.
In June, director Nadeem J confirmed that production had resumed and expressed hope that the series would return by the end of July or in August.
He also said the team was working within Fremantle’s global production framework and ensuring the format met the franchise’s international standards.
While Bangash’s announcement confirms that Pakistan Idol is returning, the production team has yet to announce an official premiere date.
