What happens

New Zealand Idol, also known as NZ Idol, is the New Zealand version of the Idol series which originated in the United Kingdom as Pop Idol. New Zealand first saw the Idol format when TV2 aired American Idol 2, which garnered impressive ratings. After Australian Idol also received good ratings in New Zealand, TVNZ decided to order the first season of NZ Idol, which was broadcast on TV2. After the third season in 2006, TVNZ made a decision not to fund or broadcast a fourth season. NZ Idol was produced by South Pacific Pictures in association with Grundy Television and developed by Fremantle Media. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
