Dancing with the Stars isn’t going away anytime soon. Recently, host Tom Bergeron revealed the ABC TV show has already been renewed for fall 2018.
Earlier this week, we reported the dancing competition show will air a special, all-athlete edition of Dancing with the Stars in spring 2018.
On Twitter, Bergeron announced ABC has renewed Dancing with the Stars for a 26th season, which is set to premiere next fall:

What do you think? Are you a fan of Dancing with the Stars? Are you excited for the next season?
Cant wait! Hope its longer than the 4 episode athletes season. Really enjoy the longer seasons because you get to know the stars better and get to see them progress more
Looking forward to the new fall season. Can’t wait. Its my favourite show
Very excited for the 27th Season….can’t wait and hope to see the majority of the long standing dancers back in the lineup!
So disappointed in short 2018 spring season plus being unfair to dancers and stars. So sad
Really, Tanya Harding, the lady who cried about a broken skate lace when she felt threatened, a lady who hired someone to take out her competition because she knew she wasn’t the best. This is a dishonor to the reputable athletes competing.
I, and my family have watched DWTS since the show first aired. We have been somewhat disappointed the last few years. Seems you have a problem getting real stars to dance. I can’t help you with that. My family and I won’t be watching this year. It must have really been hard to recruit individuals this year that you felt you had to invite a poor sport that took harsh measures to one of their competitors. I really feel sorry for your show and your failing ratings. I have really enjoyed your show and will miss the professional dancers.
Not interested in short season, only athletes.
I will watch the all athletes season of DWTS, but I do prefer the regular format and look forward to the fall 2018 season. I saw the cast reveal on GMA and noticed Maks, Val, Peta, Cheryl, Mark, were missing. Hopefully just a break til the fall season.
Agree with above
We have been watching and waiting and getting more and more nervous that DTWS had been cancelled. My husband and I totally LOVE DTWS and NEVER want it to cancel. I agree with some that are not totally excited about having a show with just athletes, but ANY DTWS is better than NO DTWS. We also think the “regulars” – Judges, Tom and Erin – are a super winning combination, so we hope none of them leave. The chemistry between them is great! My fear is that, with this breaking of the continuum of 25 seasons, many viewers will get… Read more »
I love Dancing with the Stars as well and I think athletes are great. But just having athletes doesn’t appeal to me. I know I’m just one of many, and my opinion probably doesn’t mean much with so many wonderful fans out there, but I would like to have seen other stars as well. I may sit this Dancing with the Stars out and wait for the fall season. I’m sure all of the athletes will do great!
I agree with the above comment March 26, 2018. I love the show. Waiting for the next one.
DWTS is my favorite show on TV. I hate to see it shortened to only 4 weeks, but guess it is better than nothing. Would much rather see it than American Idol.
I LOVE DWTS. We love everything about it. We always hate seeing the season end.
DWTS is #1 on my DVR’d recording list. The only reality show I watch regularly
I love DWTS. I have mixed emotions about the all-athlete season. In a way I guess it’s more fair, as the athletes have an edge over the other contestants because they are usually more agile. I do, however, enjoy seeing the stars I know compete. I am not a follower of sports, so therefore I don’t expect to see many, if any, I know. I hope the Fall season will be all stars instead of athletes.
I will watch DWTS again some of the woman I dont care for but like watching the dancing.
