It’s back. And it’s official.
The TEN Network’s favourite dance show, So You Think You Can Dance, returns next year.
It’s a global television franchise that captivated television audiences for three years in its first run and TEN will be banking on the magic being rekindled again.
“We are delighted to bring So You Think You Can Dance back to TEN,” said TEN’s Chief Programming Officer, Beverly McGarvey.
“The show is Event TV at its best and is great entertainment for the entire family. Our aim is to showcase the great variety of dance in Australia and our country’s best dancers – and to give those dancers the chance to fulfill their dreams.”
The show will be produced by Shine Australia after Shine Group recently signed a global deal with the co-creator and US Executive Producer, Nigel Lythgoe.
The 2014 version of the show will have a new host and new judges, all to be announced.
“So You Think You Can Dance is one of the world’s most-loved entertainment formats and proven marquee brands,” said the CEO of Shine Australia, Mark Fennessy.
“Australia is blessed with extraordinary dancers and a vibrant dance community. At Shine, we’re excited to once again showcase our most exceptional talent.”
He said the new-look version promises to inspire and amaze, and that viewers can expect “breathtaking performances and spectacular moments.”
TEN has been lacking a big event brand since MasterChef began a ratings drop, whilst Seven and Nine have found success with cooking, singing and home renovation reality television.
Auditions for So You Think You Can Dance will start in September. You can register here.
