“WORLD OF DANCE” (PREMIERES TUESDAY, MAY 29 FROM 10-11 P.M.)

Coming off its hugely successful first season in which French hip-hop duo Les Twins were crowned champions, last summer’s #1 new series “World of Dance” returns for a highly anticipated second season.

“World of Dance” gives dancers the platform to showcase their talents and compete for a life-altering grand prize of $1 million, led by a judging team of extraordinary dance superstars — Jennifer Lopez (who also serves as an executive producer), Derek Hough, NE-YO and host/mentor Jenna Dewan Tatum.

In its first season “World of Dance” averaged a 2.6 rating in 18-49 and 10.1 million viewers overall in “live plus seven day” Nielsens, making it last year’s #1 new summer show in both measures and the #2 summer show overall on broadcast television in both categories behind only “America’s Got Talent.” “World of Dance” was also the most-watched new summer alternative series on the broadcast networks in 10 years.

Today, NBC also announced the season premieres for America’s Got Talent, American Ninja Warrior, and Running Wild with Bear Grylls.
