Telly’s Take
Will ABC cancel or renew Dancing with the Stars for season 29? I am sure there will be a 29th season but, unless the ratings improve, it may not air until next fall. For now, I’ll keep an eye on the ratings and update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free alerts on Dancing with the Stars cancellation or renewal news.

When season 29 is announced, let’s just hope ABC doesn’t make it the “farewell season” like Fox did with American Idol in 2016.
I will definitely watch it! I pretty much ignore the voting/results. I so enjoy the dancing.
The voting was changed. Put it back the way it was. Yes I would watch season 29
Replace the judges and keep our dancers and bring Sharna back
Dear ABC,
Please let ‘Dancing with the Stars’ fanatics know when the “red-hot” dancing competition is renewed for season number 29.
Sincerely,
Rebecca Leonard
