The Hottest Show on TV Is 20 Years Old

While a cast featuring many social media stars, individuals known from the polygamist reality show ‘Sister Wives,’ and a charming late-night personality has attracted younger viewers, the real reason for Dancing with the Stars‘ success this fall goes back to a decision made by Disney in early 2023. Dana Walden, recently appointed co-chair of Disney Entertainment to oversee both streaming and traditional TV, unexpectedly changed course. Her predecessors had planned to move DWTS exclusively to the Disney+ streaming service, but Walden brought it back to ABC.
