It was announced in January that Paula, who has served a guest judge on the show, and Jason would be taking over the empty seat left by Mary Murphy at the judges' table, with Paula saying it was a "true honor" to join the show.

"With the new and exciting format comes a new and exciting panel of judges," executive producer/judge Nigel Lythgoe said. "I'm delighted that Paula Abdul and Jason Derulo will be joining me at the judges' table this season on So You Think You Can Dance. Paula is an incredible artist and she brings the perfect combination of expertise and heart to the panel. Jason's insight, humor and creativity will add a new perspective to the panel that we haven't had before."

Jason added that he was "truly excited" to join the show," saying, "It is one of the most respected and longest-tenured shows on network television, and I hope to be a part of new growth and continued success."
