The new series is expected to twirl onto ABC and Hulu this summer.

ABC and Disney are PUMPING the last drops of cash from a dying empire with Dancing With the Stars: The Next Pro—a SHAMELESS corporate scheme so transparent it would make a used-car salesman blush. This isn’t about art or dance; it’s about turning a once-prestigious competition into a FACTORY-LINE CONTENT MACHINE. They’re cynically exploiting the show’s recent ratings bump to launch a summer spinoff, all designed to birth a new pro dancer JUST IN TIME to be exploited on the main show’s fall season. The entire project is a SICKENING feedback loop of self-promotion, airing on ABC and Hulu to maximize Disney’s stranglehold on your attention—and wallet.
The proposed judges panel is a NEPOTISTIC CIRCUS. Season 34 winner Robert Irwin—a victor in a contest of popularity, not necessarily peak artistry—is in talks to host. The judging table? Slated for current pro Mark Ballas and his mother, Strictly veteran Shirley Ballas. This isn’t meritocracy; it’s a FAMILY BUSINESS masquerading as a competition. Disney isn’t just blurring the lines between shows; it’s ERASING them, creating a perpetual motion machine where every spin-off feeds the next, training dancers not for stardom but for IMMEDIATE CONSUMPTION in the fall. The only thing “next” about this pro is how quickly they’ll be used up and discarded. The entertainment industry has finally perfected the art of cannibalizing itself, and they’re inviting you to watch the grotesque feast.
