ABC Entertainment President, Karey Burke, Teases On The New Season Of Dancing With The Stars
Well, we aren’t really learning anything new from other teasers recently, but, exec from ABC, Karey Burke, talked a little on the changes coming to the new season of Dancing With The Stars which sound good. From TV Line….
Speaking with TVLine last week at the Television Critics Assoc. summer press tour, Burke offered new insight into the retooled DWTS, which returns Monday, Sept. 16 at 8/7c. For starters, the exec characterized the alterations as “format tweaks” vs. format changes,” adding, “It’s about [shifting] the focus of the show to really focus on it being a celebration of dance, and also focusing on the celebrities.”
By “leaning into its strengths,” Burke believes DWTS will once again cement its position as “the most entertaining dance show on television.”
Meanwhile, Burke remained mum on Season 28’s celeb cast, but promised the lineup is “really good.”

The more they hype the line up, the more I’m beginning to lose interest. If it’s big names I think it’ll be even more of a popularity contestant than normal. Or it’ll be the normal Housewife/Disney kid/NFL star with a couple of big names in the mix.
And if they have to pay a lot to get big names which results in a subpar production, then I’m fine with the C and D listers.
I guess we will hardly notice the difference, the stars will be no bigger and we will be left thinking ‘what was all that hype about’?
hi, i’m from Netherlands myself, i watch strictly on bbc, and i necessarily don’t care about quality of celebs just as long as it’s a fun group of celebs
british strictly even has a daughter of richest nigerian oil billionaire and she’s a viscountess weymouth as well as businesswoman and socialite, who got critiques like ”who”
i am hyped too for dutch dwts, we actually got some good a-lister signings for our dutch standards i guess
Good Luck america with the DWTS season 28 line up, some celebs i like on dwts were
Mr T, Robert Herjavec, Nikki Bella, Bristol Palin, Amber Riley
@Nicky91: I have the same atitude. As long as they are a fun group I’m cool with it. Some of my favs are some I had no idea who they were (JR Martinez and Jason Taylor for example).
