Last year the World of Dance TV show on NBC was renewed for a third season, before the sophomore cycle even began, then the show proceeded to drop off sharply in the Nielsen ratings. Now that it is back for season three, without Jenna Dewan, can it regain its firm foot and ensure another whirl with the Peacock Network? Will World of Dance be cancelled or renewed for season four? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
An NBC dance competition series, the third season of World of Dance is hosted by Scott Evans, with Jennifer Lopez, Derek Hough, and Ne-Yo judging the performances. 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.
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.

What do you think? Do you like the World of Dance TV series? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season on NBC?
*5/11/19 update: NBC has renewed the World of Dance TV show for a fourth season.
I absolutely LOVE this show!!! The talent is phenomenal!! Please, please, please do NOT cancel this show. This is true entertainment for all ages. Great family show. We so need this type of programming.
Please don’t cancel this I love the show. I look forward to seeing more.
No not in this time slot, no one is watching their giving away million dllrs and three million viewers the numbers don’t add up, the network is basically winning with other shows but not this one, I think keeping Dereck as Judge would be amazing, but letting the others go and getting Judges who are more knowledgeable in dance ppl who have So You Think You Can, or Dancing with the stars would make more sense instead of two singers/actor would make the show much better, I would differently cancel.
Renew love world of dance
It’s amazing way better than so you think you can dance. This gives so many more people an opportunity to shine. From all over the world! Added bonus is that Jennifer, Ne-Yo, and Derek are the hottest judges on TV, loving Scott as the new host too. #PleaseSaveWOD!
