Dancing With the Stars, a staple on ABC since its inception as a summer entry in June 2005, has a new home on Disney+. The veteran dancing competition has been on the alphabet net for 16 years and 30 editions.
Dancing with the Stars has entertained fans for 16 years on ABC, and we are excited to bring this beloved show exclusively to Disney+ as the platform's first-ever live series.
Once a staple on ABC, the network has scaled back the dance show to only one fall edition and replaced it with a show hosted by Tyra Banks. The Bachelor franchise is on the block.
Dancing with the Stars has been on ABC for 30 seasons and brought so much joy to millions of viewers. Rob Mills and the talented Walt Disney Television Alternative team will be in charge of the series, and we are so grateful to our partners at BBC Studios.
Dancing With the Stars is moving to Disney+ as ABC is about to air several Monday Night Football games.
Dancing With the Stars, which is confirmed for at least two more editions, is likely to age down with the move to Disney+. Andrew Llinares will no longer be involved. There is no official confirmation that Banks is returning as host.
The loss of Dancing With the Stars to a streaming service is not a good thing.
