“ Dancing with the Stars has been a beloved staple on ABC for 30 seasons and brought so much joy to millions of viewers,” continued Dana Walden, Chairman of Entertainment, Walt Disney Television.
NETFLIX THE LAST BASTION SERIES
Having previously struggled to break out on streaming platforms, competition series have started to get traction and create buzz lately with titles like Netflix’s Nailed It, Floor Is Lava and Is It Cake?. Additionally, DWTS‘ signature Disney-themed nights will create synergy opportunities for Disney+ which carries the movies showcased on the program.
But DWTS is a unique family show that fits well on Disney+ whose growth has been Disney’s top priority. The move is a departure from Disney’s streaming strategy for ABC whose programming goes to the company’s other streamer, Hulu. The platform has tiptoed into the competition show genre with programs like Foodtastic and Be Our Chef, but nothing has made the kind of noise that DWTS has for so many years on ABC. It put Netflix on the reality programming map and remains one of the streamer’s popular unscripted titles.ĭWTS could certainly add some sparkle, if not more subscribers to Disney+, which has found it challenging to launch a big hit series beyond the Marvel and Lucasfilm franchises. Netflix had struggled to make a dent in the unscripted space until it bought a revival of Queer Eye For the Straight Guy, which had originated on Bravo before becoming a pop culture phenomenon on NBC.
There is a precedent that underscores the power of a successful broadcast reality series and how it can translate to steaming. “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 entertained fans for 16 years on ABC, and we are excited to bring this beloved show exclusively to Disney+ as the platform’s first-ever live series,” said Kareem Daniel, chairman, Disney Media and Entertainment Distribution. While other broadcast shows have relocated to streaming services such as SEAL Team and Evil to Paramount+ and (post-cancellation) Lucifer and Manifest to Netflix and AP Bio to Peacock, this is the highest-profile, most established and popular series - and first major non-scripted one - to take the leap so far.ĭisney brass certainly hope that DWTS’ big following will translate into new viewers - and ultimately additional subscribers - for the platform. That started to change this year when longtime broadcast staple ACM Awards streamed on Prime Video, a landmark which is now followed by DWTS’ move to Disney+. With Prime Video, Peacock and Apple TV+ becoming players in live sports, live entertainment had remained the last bastion of network television.
