Telly’s Take
Last season, in an attempt to boost viewership, So You Think You Can Dance featured younger competitors between the ages of eight and 13, but the ratings fell even further. This season, the show went back to basics and showcases dancers between the ages of 18 and 30. The show got off to a good start but the numbers have dropped. At this point, I suspect the series will be back for a 15th season. Subscribe for free updates on any cancellation or renewal news.

What do you think? Do you hope the So You Think You Can Dance TV show will be renewed for season 15? How would you feel if FOX cancelled this TV series, instead?
That was supposed to be “I love SYTYCD”. Don’t know how autocorrect came up with duty day for that!
I love duty day. Watch it every year. What the dancers and the all-stars do is amazing. Bring it back. Especially glad they bought Mary Murphy back. It just wasn’t the same without her enthusiasm!
The ratings for SYTYCD didn’t really plummet until the powers that be started messing with the formula. Last year was also so very short. Please return it to the original format Fox!! It is some of the only real dancing we get to see on network TV and I much prefer it to DWTS. How often do we really get to see contemporary dance? I miss the results shows that featured different types of dance groups and live music performances. I just love this show, please don’t cancel it.
I sincerely hope that SYTYCD will return for its 15th season. Its’s the best dance show in that it features young dancers who are serious about their dreams and dedicated to perfecting their craft . So much more heart and purpose in this competition that the glitzy DWTS. And I agree with Cyd that it needs to go back to its original format. Come on FOX. Give these young dancers a platform to achieve their dream and viewers a great show to watch.
Yes if it goes back to it’s original format, that would be amazing!!! This show has become a family thing, but the last few seasons, we have went and found other things to watch.
I’ll never understand why Dancing with with the Stars beats SYTYCD in ratings except for a spiffier name & American obsession with celebrities. Have watched every SYTYCD show since its star. Such an entertaining, uplifting and joyous show. One of very few broadcast shows that I watch.
I love SYTYCD! Please don’t cancel it! I love it because it’s one of the few reality shows where the contestants are not putting each other down, but uplift each other.
Love it absolutely it should return I’m 2018
This is the best dance show on TV. The contestants have talent. Please don’t
cancel. Maybe too much emphasis on hip hop styles has lost viewers.
I haven’t enjoyed the competition since the show began to pair dancers with the past winners / professionals! What was so exciting was that 2 contestants with equal ability have to outshine their each other but being a supportive partner regardless! I appreciate the past winners have the talent and can be a great mentor but when dancing with the contestant they can and do outshine and overshadow. Bring back the original please!
I love SYTYCD! I have watched it from the very beginning. Would be disappointed if it gets cancelled. Maybe Monday night is not the best. Sometime competes with The Voice. Please don’t cancel!
YES, PLEASE have season 15 back to original format!!!!
We wish it would be back the way it was at the beginning. No All stars. Just teams of normal dancers paired up with different styles. No professionals either. Lex is part of Shaping Sound and that isn’t fair for dancers that are not already employed.
Yes!!!
I so agree with Karen!!! This is my favorite show of all time!!! I’m was a little disappointed the last few years and am so happy they are back to the original format. Dance is so powerful and this show by far showcases what humans can do with their bodies and minds!
I am a huge fan of this show, so happy it’s back to the original way it used to be, and I’m happy Mary is back as well!!!
