Dancing With The Stars Season 28 To Officially Return In The Fall, Future Seasons In Talks
According to People, Dancing With The Stars will officially be back for a Fall Season. Here is a take from the link where ABC Entertainment president, Karey Burke, mentions it at the Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour on Tuesday….
During the Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour on Tuesday, ABC Entertainment president Karey Burke announced that the reality dance competition series will be returning for season 28.
“I can confirm that it will definitely be returning in the fall,” Burke told reporters.
Although DWTS has occasionally aired two seasons annually — spring and fall — PEOPLE confirmed in December that the long-running ABC show would be taking a hiatus and skipping a spring cycle like 2018’s Athletes mini-season.
That’s not all, according to Burke via TV Line, Dancing With The Stars could be back for a Spring season afterwards. Read on….
Newly-installed Alphabet entertainment president Karey Burke addressed the speculation Tuesday at the Television Critics Assoc. winter press tour, declaring unequivocally that the show will “definitely be returning in the fall.” Regarding the decision to skip a spring cycle for the first time in franchise history, Burke deflected, “That decision was made before I got here.”
Having skipped this spring outright and aired an abbreviated all-athletes edition a year ago, could DWTS ever be a proper twice-a-year show again? “We’re in conversations about that,” Burke told TVLine. “They’re coming in soon to talk about their plans for the fall, and we’ll discuss it then.”
Be sure to read the links for more. It’s going to be interesting to see how this all plays out. The ratings for the Fall season will probably determine it’s future. Let us know what you think in comments.
I hope the fall season is amazing so we can get the spring seasons back or a team least endure the fall being dwts time 🙂
If American Idol doesn’t do well this spring they may consider bringing DWTS back for that reason, but I think the fall ratings will depend on lot on that, too. I really hope the fall season is different and better than the last couple at least. Very curious to see what they do.
I hate that there won’t be a Spring season of DWTS. It’s one of the few “reality” shows I like. If they’re only going to do 1 season, I’d like to see them do DWTS Juniors in the other slot. I know for the juniors first season, they filmed the show during the summer, I’m assuming because some of the kids attend public school & summer was the ideal time. Otherwise, all that practice time & taping would have really interfered. If they were to do 1 season of juniors & 1 season of the original show each year, then they should do DWTS in the Spring & do Juniors either live over the summer or taped in the fall. It was kind of a bummer to learn that Juniors was taped but, under the circumstances I understand. They could still do 2 seasons of DWTS though & do Juniors during the summer. That would give us nearly year round dancing. It would be a lot better than some of the shows airing now & DEFINITELY better than all the repeats.
The season 28 dwts needs to bring back Derek Hough and Mark ballas. My sister won’t ever vote or watch it if Derek Is not on I vote for Mark though if he is on just saying all of my sister friends would. It I ok only vote for Derek when he is on you would have a viwer again
I hope dwts goes back to spring and fall in the spring I liked the sports edition that was cool I hope they do that again. I also like dwts jr hope that stays for a while as for dwts I hope it never goes off the air I am a little disappointed about not having a spring season
[…] All! Dancing With The Stars Season 28 is a ways off yet, but, have you thought about which celebrities you’d like to see dance on the show? Let us […]
