NBC Renews WORLD OF DANCE

WORLD OF DANCE has been renewed by NBC for a third season—weeks before the second year launches. Ne-Yo, Jennifer Lopez, and Derek Hough judge the dance competition; Jenna Dewan hosts the series.

“WORLD OF DANCE is a high-energy competition with immeasurable heart, compelling storytelling and unmatched talent,” said Paul Telegdy, President, Alternative and Reality Group, NBC Entertainment, in a statement. “With our exceptional judging panel leading the charge and competitors who are the best in what they do, we’re thrilled to once again bring viewers the Olympics of dance.”

“We have seen firsthand that these undeniable competitors on WORLD OF DANCE have a rare fire and passion within,” said Meredith Ahr, President, Universal Television Alternative Studio. “It is a privilege for us to provide this unparalleled platform, which pushes dancers to unlock their greatest potential and can change the trajectory of their personal, professional, and artistic lives.”

“We set out to make WORLD OF DANCE a competition series of the highest caliber — every act that hits the stage gives their all and challenges themselves against the most elite athletes in the world,” said Jennifer Lopez. “As an executive producer and judge, I’m constantly reminded of the heart and determination it takes to rise to the challenge and become the best of the best. I can’t wait to see the talent that comes across our stage for Season 3.”
