The BBC has axed Simon Cowell’s The Greatest Dancer after two seasons.
The show saw undiscovered dancers competing under the mentorship of dance captains Cheryl Tweedy, Oti Mabuse, Matthew Morrison, and Todrick Hall by performing a routine in the hopes of securing enough votes.
Per Variety, the second season saw a major drop in ratings, drawing a reported 2.8 million viewers for its final month. It also faced serious competition from the hit show The Masked Singer.
A BBC spokeswoman said: “Whilst there are no plans for a further series of The Greatest Dancer, we are proud of the show and would like to thank everyone involved in bringing so many memorable moments to BBC One.”
News of the cancelation follows news that the format is being remade in China as The Magnificent Dancer.
