The milestone 20th season of “ Dancing With the Stars ” is shaping up to be one to watch. From top dancers (including the return of pro Mark Ballas), experienced and long-awaited celebrities, and exciting surprises, the team is bringing their A-game like never before. Last season, the show broke multiple voting records (more than 32 million votes for the finale) and saw the highest ratings in three years.
“I feel the pressure to try and keep it up. I think it’s a great story for any broadcast show 20 years from its inception, to still be growing in key areas,” showrunner Conrad Green tells Variety . “In the last few years, I think we’ve found a whole new younger audience who’ve re-engaged with the show and feel like it’s their show now. And the truth is, it’s always everyone’s show.
