“Production on season 17 of So You Think You Can Dance will not be moving forward due to health and governmental restrictions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.” Then the statement continued with, “As a result, while we were looking forward to its return this summer, we cannot meet the standards we’ve set for viewers and contestants in light of the show’s unique format, intricate production schedule and limited time.”
The news is not a surprise, but it is still sad to read. It will be interesting to see how other reality competition shows, that require the acts to perform in front of judges, will go on. America’s Got Talent will most likely be the guinea pig for Dancing with the Stars and The Masked Singer (although the contestants are already wearing masks.)
I wonder when CBS is going to announce that Big Brother will also be taking the summer off. Although, they could easily keep the contestants and crew quarentined on the CBS Radford lot.
