Heavy "Dancing With the Stars" update.
The season 33 premiere of “Dancing With the Stars” airs live on ABC on Tuesday, September 17, 2024 at 8 pm EST.
For fans who prefer to use streaming services, it will also simulcast live on Disney +, and will be available to stream the next day on Hulu.
The ABC network is included in basic cable packages and via local affiliates, but streaming services require a subscription. New subscribers to Hulu can get a free trial week by signing up on the Hulu website.
“Dancing with the Stars” can also be streamed with free trials on Direct TV Stream, Fubo, and Sling. As of this writing, Disney + does not offer a free trial.
“Dancing With the Stars” executive producer Conrad Green told Forbes the show has found a way to connect with audiences in all demographics by airing live on traditional network TV as well as on streaming services that allow for viewing the next day. “The way that ABC, Disney+, and Hulu all broadcast the show feels like we’re really connected to all the audiences who watch,” he said. “We’re plugged into the 21st century fully.”
