Earlier this week, Disney hosted the season finale of the 33rd season of “Dancing With The Stars” on ABC and Disney+, which saw Joey Graziadei and his pro dance partner Jenna Johnson pick up the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.

Hosted by Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough, the hit series pairs celebrities with trained ballroom dancers to compete in themed choreographed dance routines that are judged by a panel of renowned ballroom experts, including Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough.

Disney has announced that that the finale delivered the largest audience in over four years and was the top program of the night across all key demographics.

“Dancing with the Stars” concluded its spectacular season 33 as the top program of the night, delivering record-breaking audience in both Total Viewers (6.36 million) and Adults 18-49 (1.14 rating) – the best Total Viewer audience since the show’s season 29 finale on 11/23/20 and the best Adults 18-49 audience since the season 29 premiere on 9/14/20.

In addition to wins among Total Viewers and Adults 18-49, the extravagant three-hour finale, in which Joey Graziadei and his partner, Jenna Johnson, took home the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy, swept additional key demographics including Adults 18-34 (1.27 rating), Women 18-49 (1.61 rating), Women 18-34 (1.90 rating) and Men 18-34 (0.65 rating), among others, while also pushing ABC to a win for the night.

“Dancing with the Stars” delivered double-digit gains in both Total Viewers (+16% – 6.36 million vs. 5.50 million) and Adults 18-49 (+70% – 1.14 rating vs. 0.67 rating) compared to its year-ago season finale (12/5/23), turning in its best Adults 18-49 season finale performance in 7 years – since 5/21/18.

Season to date, “Dancing with the Stars” stands as the No. 1 entertainment series among Adults 18-49 (0.77 rating) – the first time for the show to take the top spot for the broadcast season in its entire history.

The show once again broke voting records, garnering over 32 million votes for the teams during the very competitive finale.

Disney also revealed that “Dancing with the Stars” was the No. 1 most social TV program across broadcast and cable on 11/26 and the No. 1 most social episode of any entertainment series season to date.

“Dancing with the Stars” is produced in front of a live audience by BBC Studios Los Angeles Productions.
