ABC and FOX have found long-lasting ratings success with their Dancing with the Stars and So You Think You Can Dance competitive reality series. Now, the Peacock Network is cutting a rug with its new World of Dance TV show, based on the global competition franchise. Have they put their best foot forward? Will World of Dance be cancelled or renewed for season two on NBC? Stay tuned.
The World of Dance TV show is hosted by Jenna Dewan Tatum, who also serves as a mentor. Jennifer Lopez, Derek Hough, and Ne-Yo judge the NBC competition. The series showcases dancers competing for a grand prize of $1,000,000. Elite solo dancers, partners, and full dance crews compete against each other in multiple categories of dance, including hip-hop, tap, ballet, break dancing, ballroom dancing, and stomping. **Status updates below.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

I stopped after about the 5th episode. Come to find out the talent really wasnt that great & the judging was bad.
Cancel it. This show is a Joke. When the Judges sends Home Probably the Best dance crew In the world and Jlo says stuff like they got out danced by a Crew that dances like the Backstreet Boys. Get Outta Here.
Cancel- please .. Derek – is not biased and can judge on technical of over all performances. Jlo and Neyo can’t judge for nothing. Biased at most. Jlo comment i am Latino so Latino get higher scores. SMH. The Latino dance group is good, but they do the same boring dancemove every week and because they so colorful and busy if you paid attention their timing was all off. Dancers preform to express movement into viewer eyes transform into emotion any group that is able to do that had been score low and eliminated. Any group that jump around like… Read more »
Cancel judging is very biased. Last night was a prime example. The twins should have gone home.
CANCEL!!!! This is not a true reflection of the talent, it’s a ******** show of favoritism where world class dancers, like Fik-Shun are unjustly scored and arrogant ******** like Les Twins score high on reputation vs performance. Will never watch again!
Immediately took this garbage show off my DVR list once they eliminated the Jabbawockeez. It was like they were trying to prove something by bouncing them early. Anyone with eyes knows they smashed those other two acts. Refuse to watch another minute of this show with its crap judging.
I stopped watching it after the Jabs got knocked out. This is not a real dance competition, it’s more of a favoritism show. Knew it right from the beginning. I can still catch performances from my favorites like Kinjaz and Fikshun on YT, so even better to filter out others I don’t really care about. Season 2…who really cares?
CANCEL. Jabbawockeez got robbed. Not hating on the Young Lions. They were clean, but they didn’t do anything very difficult. If the judges can’t appreciate the creativity of the “rewind” and the guy getting shot out of the cannon, they shouldn’t be judges..
Cancel. The judging couldn’t be more bias. Worse judging since the 2002 winter Olympic figure skate scandal
After what happened to the Jabbawockeez, the show should definitely be cancelled. That was appalling really. Bad judging
After what happened to the Jabbawockeez, the show should definitely be cancelled. That was appalling really. Those guys have worked hard for a long time and deserved better. They are superior dancers, way better and they were not beaten even in this particular round. Horrible judging
Get judges that are able to use consistent and unbiased scoring criteria. In the duel rounds they gave the solo tap dancer that dueled Les Twins (Don’t remember his name) a higher score than the Jabawockeez… How does that happen?
Either that or cancel the show… poor judging makes it garbage!!!
Save yourself a great waste of time and money. Your audience is gone, thanks to bias, judges who didn’t even try to hide their deceptions.
Cancel, another waste of an hour, open up tome frame frame for a real and legitimate show.
It should be cancelled now.
It is a good show. Nice to see Derek Hough as a judge.
Question: Is it fair to have the winner of So You Think You Can Dance as a contestant?
Fiction, you are awesome & a great guy, but I dont think its fair. I think this is about finding new talent (like when you were given that same opportunity).
Thats my opinion…
Well maybe I will correct myself. I see that it is the worlds greatest dancers and some of them are professionals. But still, where do you draw the line? Why arent all the professional dancers from Dancing with the stars competing? Where is Val & Max.? Where is Whitney? She was on SYTYCD too. Dont all of them want to win $1 Million?
ok, I will correct myself 1 more time! After watching last nights episode I realize that there are tons of dancers on this show who have had success in the past. So……Go Fiction!!! Im rooting for you.
Awesome shoe, really entertaining. And Would you look at those HUGE ratings.
What huge ratings? T premiered to big ratings but it dropped. It’s also unfair to put winners of other dance shows like fiction and Jaborwakis against non professional dancers.
Ratings are huge and your hate won’t change it. Season 2 is coming !
And I will add that these are big ratings for a summer show.
I don’t think season two will be coming, too many non-professional judges, who don’t have the intellect concerning dancing; more importantly law suites dealing with copyright infringement.
