ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars” receives its first Emmy nomination in 10 years after an early-morning announcement on NBC’s “Today.” The reality competition series is nominated for Outstanding Reality Competition Program. The nomination marks a return to the category since its last nod in 2016, according to reporting from The Hollywood Reporter.
If it prevails, the show would join a group of major reality contenders. The current nominees include CBS’ “Survivor,” Bravo’s “Top Chef,” Peacock’s “The Traitors,” and MTV’s “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” The Emmy nomination follows attention around the show’s recent season, which has been described by outlets as gaining widespread viewership and visibility.
Overall, multiple outlets report the same key outcome: “Dancing with the Stars” secures the category nomination after a long gap, setting up a competitive year among established reality franchises.
