Last season, because of declining ratings, FOX continued airing So You Think You Can Dance just once a week but the ratings continued to fall. Will they continue to decline or start to climb? Could it be cancelled this time or will it be renewed for a 12th season?
Hosted by Cat Deeley, So You Think You Can Dance is a competition that pits dancers of various backgrounds against one another to become “America’s Favorite Dancer.” Nigel Lythgoe and Mary Murphy have returned as the permanent judges, often sharing the table with guests like Adam Shankman, Mia Michaels, Jenna Dewan-Tatum, Wayne Brady, Jenna Elfman, and Christina Applegate.
The higher a show’s ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better its chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically the following morning, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
Final season averages: 1.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.11 million total viewers.

The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you still like the So You Think You Can Dance TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a 12th season?
The highlight of my TV year comes when SYTYCD begins and I hate when it ends for the season. I and many others are outside the demographics. I am over 60 and do not have a dance background; my sister and I text each other while the show is on and talk about it when we get together. We have learned to recognize chorographers’ styles, been exposed to music we normally wouldn’t have heard, and have an opportunity to see our talented youth do something with their lives. The show sets a good example for young people to work hard… Read more »
Yes, this is this is the best reality show ever! I love this show and wait every year for it to come back on. Please keep it on we need shows like this to inspire our children and ourselves.
Love the show, but season 11 is horrible. The show lost all diversity, with hardly any variation in look, style, age, race, personality, or background. I can’t tell any of the dancers apart this year.
I don’t generally watch Fox, actually I don’t watch much TV at all. But SYTYCD is one of those shows I can’t stay away from. I can’t imagine anything (especially) Fox could replace it with that would be of any interest at all to me.
It would be a huge loss if this show were to be cancelled.
Definitley a keeper! This is one of the more honest reality shows out there. Great source of inspiration for young and old.
Yes! They should Renew SYTYCD for MANY SEASONS TO COME….FOX will be CRUSHING MANY YOUNG PEOPLES DREAMS IF THEY DECIDE TO CANCEL… SYTYCD IS THE BEST DANCE SHOW ON TELEVISION!!! MY FAVORITE SHOW ON TV!!! It helps launch many young Dancers Careers!!! I don’t understand how the ratings are done, but everyone I know watches this show….
Yes the show should be renewed for season 12. It’s really enjoyable to watch the great talented cast
I love this show but just wasn’t happy with this season – nobody stood out this year. It was hard to really like someone this year. I’m hoping for another season but with the low ratings, I’m not holding my breath.
To me, this is the best reality show, not only because the dancers, choreographers, and most of the judges are excellent, genuine, and enthusiastic (less commercial), but also because it is so “human” (less acting).
Really hope the show’s rating maintain high so that the show can go on……………….
Here is my pipe dream. Since Dancing With the Stars is always pulling talent from SYTYCD, (lots of pros like Chelsie, Lacey, Dimitri, Allison this year….) maybe ABC should pick it up if Fox drops it, and air it in between seasons of DWTS. DWTS’s ratings are dropping too, but they are leaps and bounds above SYTYCD. I love this show. It is THE BEST reality competition show on, in my opinion. A tie-in with DWTS might help bring some frsh viewers in.
What a great idea, David!
My favorite show from the first year it aired. So much talent.
They should definitely renew it! It is such an inspiring and fun show to watch!
Absolutely renew! This is such a wonderful way for young people to learn the beautiful craft of dance. I love some of some of the new routines that have been introduced this season. This show is watched by four generations in my family. It would be terrible to see it cancelled
I love SYTYCD! Great show! Don’t miss an episode. Sorry, out of your demographics as I’m over 55. But I know so many people who watch it. LOVE the show!
hmmmmmm…..yeah, they will probably cancel this show, which is an inspiration to many young people, and keep airing Honey boo boo (which nearly everyone will look and act like in a few years)…because most people in America like train wrecks more than talent!
Keep the show, maybe a little less coverage of the train wrecks at the beginning. though.
One thing that would be cool to see is; updates on where all of the past top 20’s are now.
