Dancing with the Stars is ushering in a new era. After 30 seasons of airing on ABC, the reality competition is gearing up for its new home on Disney +. Former pro-turned-judge Derek Hough says he’s proud to be involved in a series that keeps fresh with shifting trends.
“There was an article that came out that said streaming has now surpassed cable in viewership, for the first time,” Hough tells ET Canada. “That is a good example of how this show is moving with where the audience is moving, or seems to be moving, or will eventually be moving. I’m very excited to be a part of that. It’s the first of its kind, with this type of show, to do that.”
Dancing with the Stars pairs professional dancers with celebrities. Each couple Salsas, Foxtrots, Paso Dobles, Freestyles and performs other types of routines. And every week features an elimination. The grand prize? The coveted Mirrorball Trophy. This year’s contestants include comedian Wayne Brady, TikTok star Charli D’Amelio, Charlie’s Angels’ alum Cheryl Ladd, Sex and the City actor Jason Lewis, American Idol singer Jordin Sparks and Bachelorette Gabby Windey, among others.
“It’s a great cast,” Hough says. “Here’s the thing. Every season you look at the paper and there are the ones where you go, ‘OK. I know that person. I know that person.’ And then there are some where you go, ‘I am not familiar with that person. I am not quite sure who that is.’ That is part of the joy because I think the idea of it is to perhaps watch it for somebody you know and are excited to see, but then you might end up falling in love with somebody else, somebody you weren’t familiar with. ‘I didn’t know this person, but I really like them. I’m a new fan of theirs. I am really rooting for them.’
