NBC’s "World of Dance" apparently put its best foot forward, earning a Season 2 renewal after just five outings.

The Jennifer Lopez-produced dance competition debuted earlier this month to 9.7 million total viewers and a 2.4 demo rating, and to date has averaged 8.3 mil and a 2.0, making it the summer’s No. 1 freshman series and the No. 2 entertainment program overall (trailing only its lead-in, America’s Got Talent).



“I am so proud to not only star, but produce a show that is so close to my heart,” J.Lo said in a statement.

“I am so happy that World of Dance has resonated with audiences and we are able to put dancers on the pedestal they deserve. I cannot wait to continue this journey and my partnership with NBC.”

NBC is polishing up its dancing shoes for more "World of Dance". Weeks ahead of the Jennifer Lopez-led hoofer competition’s sophomore-season premiere, the Peacock has renewed it for a third season.

The series, which bowed last year as the most-watched new summer alternative series in a decade, lets dancers showcase their talents and compete for a million-dollar grand prize. Exec producer Lopez leads a judging team that also includes Derek Hough, Ne-Yo and host/mentor Jenna Dewan.




“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,” Lopez said.

“World of Dance is a high-energy competition with immeasurable heart, compelling storytelling and unmatched talent,” said Paul Telegdy, President of the Alternative and Reality Group at NBC Entertainment. “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.”
