Dancing with the Stars has been one of ABC’s most-popular shows for years so, it’s to be expected that the network would want to try another spin-off (a junior version was cancelled after one season in 2018). Will the new Dancing with the Stars: The Next Pro become a summer staple? Will it be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned.

A competition spin-off series, Dancing with the Stars: The Next Pro is hosted by wildlife conservationist and Dancing with the Stars Mirrorball Champion Robert Irwin. During the season, 12 exceptional up-and-coming dancers move into a house and compete in a grueling audition process, all vying for a coveted spot as a pro dancer on season 35 of Dancing with the Stars. Three-time Mirrorball champion Mark Ballas and his mother, Shirley Ballas, aka “The Queen of Latin” serve as judges. They’re joined by a series of rotating mentors/guest judges from DWTS.

Nielsen Ratings
The Nielsen ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances of survival. This chart is updated as new ratings data becomes available.

Note: These are the final national ratings, including all live+same day viewing and DVR playback (through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled.
