Dancing With the Stars has scored its first reality competition series Emmy nomination in a decade.
The veteran ABC series broke into the reality competition category this year, and is nominated alongside the likes of RuPaul’s Drag Race, Survivor, Top Chef and The Traitors. The nod arrived after Dancing With the Stars‘ fruitful 34th season, which earned the program its highest ratings (also) in a decade.
The reality show has earned a plethora of craft nods over the years, but it was last recognized in the reality competition program category in 2016.
Showrunner Conrad Green had shared his hopes for the Emmy nomination the show has now received in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter at an FYC event in late April. He stressed the show’s unique structure compared to its over nominees, highlighting that its a program that implements a weekly live format that runs for 11 weeks at a time.
