Will there be a Season 9 of 'Dance Moms'? Abby Lee Miller is assured that the Lifetime sequence will get renewed. Here’s what we learn about the show.
Most people wouldn’t be able to dance back from an eight-month prison stint — and a most cancers diagnosis — with a success truth show… but Abby Lee Miller isn’t most people. The arguable Dance Moms star returned to television in June after a just about two-year hiatus that saw her serve time in the back of bars for chapter fraud.
Though her comeback received a large number of consideration, as did Season 8’s brand-new crop of dancers, it’s no secret that the present lineup isn’t really gelling (with each different or viewers). Does this spell hassle for the Lifetime series?
Will there be a Season 9 of Dance Moms?
The network has yet to renew the show for a ninth season, but Abby turns out assured that it will go back — irrespective of the noticeable dip in rankings.
"If the ratings were based on how many times over and over and over the kids watch the show, we would probably be the No. 1 show on TV," she stated in an interview with FOX Business.
"They watch it because they want to learn the dance routines, so they turn it on and they stop and rewind again and again and again and again because they want to dance like the kids on the show," she explained.
But regardless of what Dance Moms has achieved for her career, Abby hasn’t at all times spoken favorably of Lifetime, which could encourage the channel to sever ties with the 53-year-old.
"Because of the character I portray on TV and how Lifetime and Dance Moms has set that up since Day 1, people were out to get me," Abby claimed whilst rehashing her time in prison. She also called out the network in an August 22 Instagram post for opting for to center of attention on behind-the-scenes drama as an alternative of the ability being displayed.
"When we all work so hard on a spectacular routine that wins the whole damn competition & they don’t air it!!! Grrrrrrrr!" she wrote after one episode. "They’d rather give the air time to some demented psycho!"
Though her frustrations are valid, it looks like the problem may now not be the drama but the solid. According to FOX Business, Season 8 averaged simply 591k viewers consistent with episode compared to 2.17 million in Season 2. Maybe Dance Moms has simply run its course.
Abby Lee Miller is still confined to a wheelchair following extra health issues.
The Pennsylvania local is learning to walk again after she had a mass/tumor got rid of from her spinal cord, which grew to become out to be a unprecedented and highly competitive type of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. But her restoration has stalled moderately due to a few different problems.
In July, Abby underwent a complete knee replacement. "Everyone says it’s the most painful surgery that you can have. I didn’t feel a thing, so it’s all good," she not too long ago advised Life & Style, but sadly, the studio proprietor suffered a fall at the Pittsburgh airport shortly and then injured her shoulder.
The incident tore two items of her rotator cuff, but she declined to move beneath the knife once more. "No more surgeries," Abby declared. "The only surgery I’m doing is to make me look better. No more health things. [I’ve] had it."
Dance Moms airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Lifetime.
