Idols Danmark or ("Idols: Ærlig Jagt. Ægte Talent") is the Danish version of the British music competition Pop Idol (2001–2003) created by Simon Fuller. After Pop Idol became a great success in England in 2001, announced the danish pay-channel TV3 in 2003, that they would launch a danish version of Idols. Idols premiered on danish television in September 2003 with the two hosts Tomas Villum Jensen and Uffe Holm presenting the show, the premiere of Idols 2003 was watched by over 450,000 people and 188,000 people in average watched the first season, the judges in the first season was Thomas Blachman, Kjeld Wennick, Henriette Blix and Carsten Kroeyer. Idols returned once again in 2004, but the second season was not as successful as its predecessor, Idols 2004 is known as the shortest Idols season in the world, with production lasting no more than 3 months. It is also seen as one of the most unsuccessful seasons of all time, Thomas Blachman returned as the only remaining judge from the first season, along with the new judges Susanne Kier and Anders Hansen. Idols in Denmark was subsequently put on an indefinite hiatus after the second season.

Although Idols in Denmark was never officially canceled, TV3 has not made any further announcement regarding the series since 2004. The series is now generally considered to have been canceled.

However, in 2019 the creator of the Idols franchise Simon Fuller told that he's more than willing to give Idols in Denmark another shot if he received offers to bring it back on other networks, and when there is less competition on the TV talent show landscape.
