Randy Jackson, the longest-standing panel judge in American Idol’s history, will develop unscripted, scripted and digital programming that will be produced with the Endemol Shine Group’s US-based operations.

The company is already behind a slew of series including Big Brother on CBS, The Biggest Loser on NBC, DirecTV’s Kingdom and MasterChef for Fox.

Music producer Jackson, who will leave American Idol when it ends after its 15th season this year, has worked alongside artists including Whitney Houston and Aretha Franklin. He also exec produced MTV show Randy Jackson Presents: America’s Best Dance Crew, which aired from 2008 until 2012.

It’s the latest development for Endemol Shine’s North American division, which last month teamed up with Ryan Seacrest Productions and in March unveiled its management team.
