Let’s face it, folks, when fans learned there wouldn’t be a spring season of Dancing With the Stars, they were more than a little upset. But here’s the good news: they’re not alone in that sentiment. ABC president Karey Burke shared some clarity on the situation at this week’s Television Critics Association gathering in Pasadena, California. “That decision was made before I arrived,” Burke revealed. “I’ve only been here two months, and trust me, I wasn’t part of that call.” But here’s what she is involved in: ensuring the show isn’t going anywhere. “I can confirm it will definitely return in the fall with Season 28,” she assured everyone.
Phew! Let that sink in, folks. The show isn’t going anywhere, and that’s something we can all celebrate.
Why Fans Can Rest Easy
Even before Burke’s comments, judge Carrie Ann Inaba was already confident that the show would return. In an interview with the Huffington Post, she expressed her excitement for the upcoming season. “It’s going to be a great season when it returns,” she said. Carrie Ann believes the show’s enduring appeal has much to do with the trio of original judges—herself, Bruno Tonioli, and Len Goodman—staying on board. These judges have been the backbone of the show, bringing consistency and familiarity to the audience.

What Keeps Viewers Hooked?
Carrie Ann went on to explain the deep connection the judges have with the dancers. “I feel like people don’t realize how much we genuinely care about the dancers,” she said. “We truly love them all. And we all love each other. The same original judging panel is still here, and in today’s world, where there’s so much uncertainty and turmoil, people crave something familiar and comforting. That’s what Dancing With the Stars provides.”
A Look Back at the Show’s Journey
Since its debut on ABC back on June 1, 2005, Dancing With the Stars has been a hit. The first season featured just six couples competing over six episodes. Fast forward to Season 27, which premiered on September 24, 2018, and you’re talking about 13 couples competing over nine weeks. After more than a decade and 27 seasons, the excitement for the show remains as strong as ever. The show continues to captivate audiences with its unique blend of talent, drama, and heartwarming moments.
The countdown to the fall and Season 28 of Dancing With the Stars has already begun, and fans couldn’t be more excited!
