BBC Studios Eyes Moving ‘Dancing With The Stars’ Spinoff ‘The Next Pro’ From Australia To Los Angeles

BBC Studios is considering relocating production of its hit ABC summer series ‘The Next Pro’ from Australia to Los Angeles, bringing the ‘Dancing with the Stars’ spinoff closer to its parent show. The move would see the celebrity dance competition filmed in the same Hollywood hub as the original, potentially streamlining resources and talent coordination. The first season was shot in Australia, but an LA shift could align the spinoff with the established production infrastructure of ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ a long-running fixture on ABC. While no final decision has been announced, the move reflects BBC Studios’ strategy to consolidate its U.S. reality portfolio. For viewers, a Los Angeles setting could mean more crossover with ‘Dancing with the Stars’ pros and celebrity guests. The potential relocation comes as networks increasingly look to maximize synergies between franchise extensions. If approved, production would likely begin later this year, with the spinoff airing next summer.
