Dancing With The Stars Renewed For Season 25
Guess what? Dancing With The Stars has been renewed for Season 25!! From Variety….
“Dancing With the Stars” has been picked up for Season 25. The dance competition show, which debuted in 2005, is currently in the midst of its 24th season and will soon crown a winner with the mirror ball trophy. Current hosts are Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews, and judges are Carrie Ann Inaba, Len Goodman, Julianne Hough, and Bruno Tonioli.
All three shows are solid ratings performers for ABC. In its most recent season, “Shark Tank” averaged a 1.2 rating and 5.2 million viewers in Nielsen live-plus-same day numbers; “The Bachelor” a 2.3 and 7.3 million; “Dancing With the Stars” a 1.7 and 10.7 million.

Read the news yesterday about the renewal. Deadline reports it’s been renewed for season 25 and 26. With American Idol coming to ABC in March, I was figuring DWTS would go one cycle. Who knows exactly ABC is planning. Guess will find out next week.
At this point in this season, I can’t even muster much enthusiasm! And if this season turns out the way I fear, I may sit out next season. Keep Tom, replace some judges (CAI, Len, and I hate to say it Julianne) and sit some pros out for the season (or at least don’t give a certain one ANOTHER ringer!)
Two cycle renewal. With the Bachelor being renewed for one this pretty much confirms DWTS will be back next Spring. Sounds like Idol will take Sundays as predicted. I knew it would make no sense putting it against the Voice, who have definitely made a clear point of stamping down on their territory by recruiting J HUD and Kelly Clarkson for the next two seasons. Both Idol alums.
Happy DWTS is coming back, though I didn’t think it was at risk of being canceled at all.
I just don’t understand why they want to resurrect Idol. They did the farewell like when, yesterday?? It’s so soon and it’s just going to pull money and budget from The View and DWTS. Just bring X Factoe back, but not on FOX. I would rather see X Factor on ABC as ABC does pretty well with live tapings.
Leigh,
I couldn’t agree with you more.
CAI,Len and Julianne. For some reason, I feel politics, politics with Julianne. The powers-that-bee simply love Julianne. She can come and go whenever.
@Leigh At this point, my standards for a “good season” are so low that I’ve given up on the whole “don’t give Val a ringer” thing. If they want to give him a ringer, fine, but stop propping him up with 15 flavors of manipulation. At this point in the ridiculousness of it all, I’d be pretty happy with a season in which Val got a ringer but was forced to sink or swim on his own without all of the inflated scores, excessive praise, extra media attention, and tearing down of other contestants.
Great News! However if Val hoists the MBT this season. Then I won’t be watching next season. Period. It’s just too exhausting.
I hate ABC. This season of DWTS has been lackluster,American Idol should stay away and worst of all they canceled the highly rated hilarious show Last Man Standing.
25 is such a big year. Crazy I know, but please let it go back to (thinking 12 pros) Julianne, Derek, Mark, Karina, Maks, Kim, Tony, Lacy, Sasha, Emma, Lindsay, Artem.
I was OK with the idea of DWTS going to one season per year; but if they’re sticking to two, I won’t complain about that, either. Really don’t plan to watch Idol again, wherever they may stick it.
Ashley, if it was highly rated it wouldn’t of been canceled. Period.
ABC made smart cancelations this go around. Kudos to them…a bit surprised “American housewife” and “the middle” were renewed though. I usually expect a blood bath from abc and NBC but those two made some good choices for once.
SIde note: did anyone else see the commercial for that Romeo and Juliet show? I’m kinda loving the idea of that show.
Didn’t see Romeo and Juliet promos but my mister and I saw The Gong Show advertised during DWTS and we are very excited for that!
I had no idea what the gong show was but googled it and it seems fun. Plus the commercial has Jennifer Aniston in it so that’s really all I needed to tune in.
I hope karina comes back.
