For the past two years, ABC has only aired one regular cycle of Dancing with the Stars, in the fall. In 2018, the Spring cycle was devoted to athletes. In 2019, the network launched Dancing with the Stars: Juniors without success. What will happen this time around? Will the alphabet network air a new season in the spring or give this venerable reality show a rest? Will Dancing with the Stars be cancelled or renewed for season 29?
