NBC is getting its dancing shoes ready early this year. Weeks ahead of its season two premiere, the network has renewed World of Dance for a third season.
The series, which premiered last year as the most-watched new summer alternative series in a decade, lets dancers showcase their talents and compete for a million-dollar grand prize. Executive producer Jennifer Lopez leads a judging team that also includes Derek Hough, Ne-Yo and host/mentor Jenna Dewan.
Last year’s first season of World of Dance averaged a 2.6 rating in adults 18-49 and 10.1 million viewers in Live+seven day. That made it the No. 1 new summer show in the demo and total viewers and No. 2 summer show broadcast TV in both categories behind only America’s Got Talent. Season 2 will premiere at 10 PM on Tuesday, May 29, following the season premiere of America’s Got Talent.
