Dancing With the Stars Spinoff Show in the Works With Possible Host Robert Irwin
ABC's new spinoff will feature emerging dancers competing for a pro spot on DWTS season 35, premiering this summer on ABC and Hulu, produced by BBC Studios.
- ABC is developing a spinoff called Dancing With the Stars: The Next Pro that will air this summer on ABC and stream on Hulu, produced by BBC Studios.
- Amid a ratings resurgence for Dancing With the Stars, ABC is moving on the spinoff after Season 34 finale posted the highest-rated in nearly a decade, using it as summer reality programming to promote the fall season and expand the franchise.
- Judging is expected to feature Mark Ballas, Shirley Ballas, a rotating mentor, and a third judge slot, while up-and-coming professional dancers will live together in a grueling audition process.
- ABC isn't commenting on The Next Pro, though casting discussions are ongoing with a targeted launch this summer and confirmation likely within months.
- Jan Ravnik's promotion from tour dancer to pro has prompted debate, with former pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy saying he has 'absolutely no business being a pro' in Season 34.
