"Dancing With the Stars" (DWTS) moved to Disney+ for its 31st season in 2022 but returned to ABC for its 32nd season and beyond. The move back to ABC was influenced by factors such as the Hollywood writers' strike and the show's broader appeal on network TV. Currently, new episodes of DWTS air live on ABC and simultaneously stream live on Disney+ in the U.S. and Canada, with episodes available on Hulu the next day. However, the availability of DWTS on Disney+ varies by region, with it not listed on Disney+ in some countries like the UK, Australia, and India. Moreover, some technical and voting issues have been reported by viewers on Disney+. The show's past shift to Disney+ aimed to reach a different demographic and expand its audience, but it still maintains a strong presence on ABC due to broad appeal and advertising considerations.
In summary, DWTS is not exclusively or consistently on Disney+ in all regions, and its primary broadcast platform has returned to ABC after a brief exclusive run on Disney+.
