Netflix has become known for axing fan-favorite series recently. Now, a beloved talent show, Dance Monsters, has been trashed from the streaming service after just one season. The star-studded program was like nothing anyone had seen before, but the streamer has decided not to renew for Season 2. Continue reading for details about why and if the show might be picked up elsewhere.
Dance Monsters Had A Star-Studded Cast & A Huge Budget
Dance Monsters is a dance talent show that focuses on visual effects. It was compared to ITV’s The Masked Dancer. The show was filmed in London, but it was streamed around the world on Netflix.
Each competitor dressed up as a monster of some sort for their performance and typically used a lot of lights and color on stage. The contestants also performed away from the judges and audience, making it easier to “let loose.”

BBC Studios has taken 25% of The Only Way is Essex and Geordie Shore exec Sarah Tyekiff’s new indie, Mettlemouse Entertainment.
Tyekiff recently exited Towie producer Lime Pictures, where she ran the All3Media-owned company’s UK and U.S. unscripted slates, and has now re-emerged with Mettlemouse. Former Youngest Media Chief Creative Officer Shaun Parry is joining her as Creative Director.

The Only Way is Essex producer Lime Pictures has snapped up one of the highest-profile execs to have left Paramount Global’s UK unscripted arm following its closure.
Joe McLusky, who was Viacom International Studios’ (Vis) Vice President and General Manager, Non-Scripted, has become Lime’s Director of Production Unscripted, replacing now-Monkey MD Helen Kruger Bratt. He will oversee all UK unscripted production across Lime Pictures and its All3Media stablemates Lion Television and Wise Owl Films.

It’s the only major precursor that uses a ranked choice voting system like the Academy Awards. Scroll down for the 2023 PGA Awards winners list in three film and 10 TV categories.

Grammy award-winning artists 2 Chainz (“The Enforcer”) and Ne-Yo have signed on to join Season 3 of Starz’s gritty drama “Bmf” in recurring roles.
They join an impressive guest star roster that has previously included Eminem, Serayah, Caresha “Yung Miami” Brownlee and Snoop Dogg.
2 Chainz will play Stacks, an Atlanta-born distributor whose wisdom and stature command respect wherever he goes. “Fiercely loyal and determined to provide for his family no matter the cost, Stacks lives by the street code and challenges Meech’s leadership style,” as Starz describes him.
Ne-Yo will play Rodney “Greeny” Green, a local Atlanta player whose main focus is making money. While he oozes swagger and an entrepreneurial spirit, Greeny has more to him that lies beneath the surface.
“Bmf” is a dramatic retelling of how brothers “Big Meech” Flenory and Terry “Southwest T” Flenory (Da’Vinchi) conquered the streets of Detroit in the ’80s and formed the Black Mafia Family,...
