Telly’s Take
Will ABC cancel or renew Dancing with the Stars for season 30? This is an unusual season to be sure but, even if the ratings dip much lower than usual, I believe the series will still be renewed for a 30th anniversary season. Will Banks return? That remains to be seen. I’ll update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free alerts on Dancing with the Stars cancellation or renewal news.

What do you think? Are you glad that the Dancing with the Stars TV show has been renewed for a 30th season? How would you feel if ABC had cancelled this TV series, instead?
DWTS is the best show ever!!!! Will it be returning for another season?
PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! ABC DO NOT CANCEL DWTS!!! Yes I just yelled that. Sorry. Not sorry.
should be cancelled after all the ____ they have pulled. Terrible host now!
They should at least bring it back for season 30 with the original hosts.
Season 30, please.
I love this show ; hope it will come back for the 30th edition. PLEASE ABC… DON’T LET IT GO !
I thought Tyra Banks ruined a great show. Tom and Erin gave it class and warmth. Tyra is not what the show needs and her outfits were ridiculous! The show is not all about her but that is what it felt like. PLEASE, ABC, use your heads and bring back Tom and Erin!
I agree. Please bring back Tom and Erin. That Tyra just wonts attention with those wild outfits she comes out like she is walking down the runway modeling the latest fashions. To me it looks as if this is all about politics.
Tyra was a disruption to a show I have watched for years
Way over the top in her stupid and overdone wardrobe. Tom was the best, bring him back
I love Dancing with the Stars.
I have watched the show since the very first one. I despise Tyra and her phony, incompetent, silly. hosting. Too much clownish make up, ugly outfits that would not sell for Halloween costumes.
If there is a 30th season, and if Tyra is the host, I, along with many of my friends will not be watching. The show wasn’t broken and didn’t need to be fixed.
Bring back Tom and Erin or fold.
I have watched Dancing with the stars since the beginning. Unfortunately I have never cared for the self aggrandizing of Tyra Banks. Prefer more down to earth option. Makes it more relatable. I stopped watching whole show after 2nd episode and just follow the dancers online to see dances.
Hope it returns with less “trying to hard” bad decisions and go back to what works tried and true.
Keep the show going. It’s the only descent program for the family going.
Bring back Tom & Erin!!!! Tyra Banks is stuck on herself!!!
Cancel it. Never should have gotten rid if Tom and Erin.
NO! ‘Dancing with the Stars’ serves as part of my childhood!
Cancel show
I have watched DWTS since the beginning. I had no feelings one way or another about Tom and Erin, but there is no way I will watch another season with Tyra hosting. In my opinion, she has ruined a very entertaining show. So sorry to take this show off of my DVR list.
what can I say? This is THE worst season of DWTS EVER. Special thanks to China for ruining so much for us, all the way to DWTS and no audience. Add to that, a change in direction. Haha. That one bit them in the butt, didn’t it? Tyra, you might be good at making money but as host, you’re less than sub-par. I sent an email to top 4 execs at Disney telling them they need to BEG Tom and Erin to come back and double their pay. No reply. Go figure. Note to Tyra: DWTS is about the dancers,… Read more »
I have nothing against Tyra Banks.
Whoever made the decision to not renew Tom and to hire Tyra should be fired. Big mistake. If they won’t bring Tom back next season and get rid of Tyra, then cancel and be done with it.
