NBC is bringing back two of its hit alternative series for another go-round. The network has renewed Jennifer Lopez-led "World of Dance" for a fourth season and "America’s Got Talent: The Champions" for a second season.

A strong ratings performer, "World of Dance" has averaged a 1.2 rating in adults 18-49 and 4.8 million viewers overall in Live+ seven-day Nielsens season-to-date. That’s up 33% vs NBC’s year-ago 18-49 average in the Sunday 8-10 PM timeslot.

The series also delivers a strong upscale audience, with a 115 index among adults 18-49 living in homes with $100K+ incomes and a 118 among adults 18-49 with four or more years of college. "World of Dance" is also a top digital performer, generating 22% of its live+ 35 day plus digital 18-49 rating from nonlinear sources, the #1 biggest percentage among NBC alternative series.




"America’s Got Talent: The Champions" averaged a 2.2 rating in adults 18-49 and 12.4 million viewers overall in Live+ seven day Nielsens, making it the season’s #1 most-watched alternative series and the most-watched new alternative series on any broadcast network since the debut of "Little Big Shots" three years ago.

The series also doubled NBC’s audience in the timeslot versus results from one year earlier (12.4 million viewers vs. 6.2 million).

"America's Got Talent: The Champions" is a good way to spend a few winter evenings -- will be interesting to see the talent for the second time around.
