ABC’s “American Housewife,” which last aired on February 26, will return with an original installment on March 19.

The episode will feature a connection to another ABC television series.

Fittingly entitled “American Idol,” the episode chronicles Taylor’s (Meg Donnelly) pursuit of success on the hit reality competition series.

“While Greg enlists Oliver and Anna-Kat’s help to drum up new recruits for the Westport Historical Guild, Katie does her best to support Taylor’s dreams of becoming the next American Idol,” says the official synopsis.

In an earlier press release, ABC noted that “American Idol” principals Ryan Seacrest, Katy Perry, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie will make cameos on the episode.

To hype the broadcast, ABC recently shared a collection of photos from the episode. The photos primarily focus on the “American Housewife” characters rather than the “Idol” guests, but one shot does include Lionel Richie.
