Yesterday, Fox cancelled 9-1-1, and ABC picked it up for season 7.
Today, Vulture is reporting that Dancing with the Stars is returning to ABC after a year at Disney+. However, it will still stream live on Disney+.
There are still a lot of details that need to be worked out because DTWS aired without commercials on the streaming service. But they can’t do that on ABC. So it will be interesting to see what they do to fill that commercial time.
Why the move? I think the Writers’ Strike played a huge part. But, Vulture suggests that the return of Bob Iger as the head of Disney played a part in the decision. Most of the people who thought it was a good idea to move the dancing competition series are no longer with the company.
Plus, without the hated Tyra Banks hosting the show and Julianne Hough joining Alfonso Ribeiro as a host, I am sure ABC is wishing and hoping fans will tune back in.
But, the return will be bittersweet because we are all going to miss Len Goodman, who passed away last week. Even though he retired in November, he was such a big part of the show’s heart.
Are you going to tune in again now that it is back on ABC and Tyra is gone?
