The dance competition will return with a scaled-back format.

• May 14, 2013

ABC has renewed long-running dance competition Dancing with the Stars for a 17th season. With the show's viewership dipping over the recent years, the network is scaling back the series into a new format.

For the 2013-2014 season, one 2-hour episode combining performances and results will air each week instead of its current format of a 2-hour performance night followed by a 1-hour results show.
