FOX Renews So You Think You Can Dance

FOX has renewed the multi-Emmy-winning dance competition series So You Think You Can Dance for a 17th season, which is set to bow this summer.

The series, from Industrial Media’s 19 Entertainment and dick clark productions, and hosted by Emmy Award nominee Cat Deeley, is holding auditions beginning next month. Dancers can audition online by registering and uploading a video, and selected dancers will be invited to attend auditions in Miami (March 19 and 20), New York (March 28 and 29) or Los Angeles (April 4 and 5). From those auditions, the dancers selected will be invited to Los Angeles to perform for judges Nigel Lythgoe, Mary Murphy and Laurieann Gibson.

Last September, Bailey Munoz was named the winner of So You Think You Can Dance during the live two-hour season finale on FOX. Munoz, 19, won a cash prize of $250,000, the cover of Dance Spirit magazine and the title of America’s Favorite Dancer.

Over the course of its 16 seasons, the show has received 68 Emmy Award nominations and garnered 16 Emmy Award wins, including outstanding choreography for Mandy Moore (2018). The hit series also received awards in the category of outstanding costumes and outstanding lighting design.
