At one time, So You Think You Can Dance was a staple of FOX’s summer schedule, but those days appear to be gone. The ratings may not be enough to keep this show coming back every year. Will SYTYCD be cancelled or renewed for season 19? Stay tuned.
A dance competition reality TV series, the So You Think You Can Dance TV show is hosted by Cat Deeley. The show’s judging panel comprises Maksim Chmerkovskiy, JoJo Siwa, and Allison Holker. Comfort Fedoke judged in the auditions. The program features highly skilled dancers between 18 and 30, showcasing their talents in various dance styles, including contemporary, tap, hip-hop, ballroom, animation, breaking, and more. Those selected to move on to the SYTYCD studio work with world-renowned choreographers and compete each week in various styles, with new twists and turns introduced into the competition. Eliminations occur weekly, and only one dancer will be crowned the winner and awarded the $100,000 prize. Season 18 will also debut a documentary-style look at the contestants’ dynamics, following them throughout the competition as they go through their personal and competitive journeys.
The 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 will be 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). Early fast affiliate ratings (estimates) are indicated with an “*”. 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.
What do you think? Do you like the So You Think You Can Dance TV series on FOX? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a 19th season?
I’d watch forever if they went back to the original format. Why did it ever have to be cut to one night? The Voice; AGT; DWTS; Idol all still have 2 nights. Additionally, the new choreo themes are not appealing.
I don’t like the new format. They’ve tweaked this show to the point that it’s unrecognizable, yet they wonder why the ratings keep dropping.
Don’t care for the judges.
