Disney+ is where you go to watch all things Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, and more.
Disney+ has been streaming our favorite Disney shows and movies for over two years now, and now they’re changing the streaming industry by bringing a LIVE reality TV show to their platform.
Disney announced today that the ABC reality series Dancing with the Stars will move to Disney+ for seasons 31 and 32, becoming the first live-streaming series to debut on Disney+ and possibly all streaming platforms in the U.S.
The series will premiere exclusively in the U.S. and Canada this fall on Disney+ with a two-season pickup, and according to Deadline, this move is partially due to plans for ABC’s Monday Night Football during the Monday night 8PM to 10PM time slot.
Kareem Daniel, Chairman of Disney Media and Entertainment Distribution, said, “The show’s broad appeal, as well as the overwhelming popularity of its Disney-themed competition nights, make Disney+ the perfect home for Dancing with the Stars while continuing to expand our demographic reach.”
Dancing with the Stars has aired for 30 seasons on ABC since 2005 and the only way to watch it this fall will be on Disney+, so if you’re a fan you might want to start subscribing to Disney+! Keep reading AllEars for more Disney news!

I have to wonder if this is a matter of the show losing popularity and thus it’s premium time slot or just another money grab by Disney to force us to pay for Disney+ to view the show. Personally, I lost interest in DWTS after Bobby Bones won and showed that it was merely a popularity race and not actually based on dancing talent. (No shade towards Bones, I listen to him every morning and love his radio show) My money is on the show going away after the planned 2- years on D+.
Dancing With The Stars has run its course. It’s dancing with people who think they are stars. They should have all really good contestants on one show. Another show would have people who have no right to be on the dance floor. Actually the later would be more interesting. Disney should let this show go. Or reinvent it. It’s boring
