'Dancing with the Stars' release date on ABC, Disney+: When and where to watch?

"Dancing with the Stars" is premiering today, as per a report in Variety. The development comes within a day after Writers Guild of America (WGA) had agreed on a tentative deal to end 146-day strike.

According to details revealed by ABC, the popular show "Dancing with the Stars" is releasing on Tuesday, September 26. It will also be live streamed on Disney+. Earlier, there was a possibility that ABC may delay the premier due to the WGA strike but eventually they went the planned release schedule.

Despite being a reality show, "Dancing With the Stars" falls under the purview of the WGA due to its employment of a single WGA writer. If the show had decided to proceed without the involvement of that writer prior to the WGA strike resolution, the writer would have been reinstated once the strike concluded.


The tentative deal to end a long-running writers' strike that has paralyzed Hollywood is only a first step in resolving a film industry crisis, as an equally bitter studio stand-off with the actors' union stretches on.

The Writers Guild of America, which walked out back in May over demands including better pay and safeguards against the use of artificial intelligence, finally thrashed out a deal with studios including Netflix and Disney on Sunday night.

Ratification of that agreement -- first by the WGA board, then by its 11,500 members -- is widely expected to be waved through without any obstacles in the coming weeks.

Picketing for writers has been suspended and the guild has indicated that it could allow members to return to work even before the final vote is counted.

Late-night TV shows could return to air "within the next two to three weeks," according to Variety, citing industry insiders.

But a far thornier issue is the still ongoing strike by Hollywood actors, represented by the SAG-AFTRA union, which is likely to take weeks to resolve and will prevent any return to production in the immediate future.
