Michael Schneider Variety Editor at LargeHost Cat Deeley is the only previously announced “So You Think You Can Dance” star set to return for Season 17, as Fox revealed a new cast of judges on Monday: Stephen “Twitch” Boss, “Glee” star Matthew Morrison and dancer/singer JoJo Siwa. The show’s new installment will premiere Wednesday, May 18 at 9 p.m. ET, following the season finale of “The Masked Singer.”Boss, Morrison and Siwa replace judging panelists Nigel Lythgoe, Mary Murphy and Laurieann Gibson, who were originally slated to return for the show’s 17th season in 2020.
But then came the COVID-19 pandemic — and the show’s producers had to scrap that season over health concerns. Production was officially halted, and in June 2020, Fox confirmed that the show would be put on hold. It took two years, but last month Fox announced that “So You Think You Can Dance” was finally returning, and auditions had started for “highly skilled dancers between the ages of 18 and 30, showcasing their talents in various dance styles, including contemporary, tap, hip-hop, ballroom, animation, breaking and more.”But missing from that announcement was any word of Deeley’s return, or if the judges would be back.
Deeley had moved back to her U.K. home during the pandemic, and it wasn’t clear if she’d be up for returning to the states for the show.Lythgoe, meanwhile, wrote on social media in March that he would indeed not be back. “I am so thrilled that America’s young aspiring dance talent will get to work with some of our greatest creative choreographers,” he posted on Twitter.
