THE REAL reason that Dancing with the Stars\u2019 past seasons continue to be left off of all streaming platforms has been revealed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since the show premiered 20 years ago, there\u2019s been a massive shift in the way viewers consume content, and the show has not yet fully pivoted into the modern era.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Currently, if fans want to watch past seasons of\u00a0DWTS, they are limited to very few options.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Only seasons 31 to the latest\u00a0season 34\u00a0are available on\u00a0Disney+, while\u00a0Hulu\u00a0only includes episodes from the season that is\u00a0currently airing.<\/p>\n
Seasons 1 through 30 are nowhere to be found online, and according to a production insider, that will not be changing in the near future.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe reason Dancing with the Stars past seasons aren\u2019t available on streaming is because production cannot afford what it would cost for the music licensing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt would easily cost millions, well into the 10 figures, to use the music for all the seasons.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo no, there are no discussions to change that anytime soon. No active talks and it\u2019s not a priority\u00a0to the\u00a0network,\u201d a source told The U.S. Sun.<\/p>\n
The insider then explained: \u201cThe show would not be able to profit from streaming it.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd frankly, it\u2019s just purely a business decision as to why it hasn\u2019t happened yet.\u201d<\/p>\n
Additionally, residuals would have to be paid out to previous cast members, which would add to the costly decision for ABC.<\/p>\n
While the exact numbers of the DWTS music budget cannot be confirmed, it is speculated that the show spends tens of thousands of dollars per episode on licensing songs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The price of the song varies, as a chart-topper would cost much more than a lesser-known song.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Additionally, the exclusive use of the song and the timeline the song is used for impacts the cost.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On DWTS, the house band, led by longtime bandleader Ray Chew, plays live cover versions of the songs; however, they still cost money to use.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The live covers are due to the rights of using the song, not the cost, according to the production insider. \u00a0<\/p>\n
If the show did not get rights directly from the artist, they are still able to use the live band cover; however, it still costs money to play the track.<\/p>\n
Fans have longed to watch previous seasons of the show on streaming platforms and have complained about the lack of options online.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s ridiculous that in the year 2025, we are still not able to watch old seasons ANYWHERE,\u201d one fan raged.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI cannot believe that they\u2019ve given us zero way of going back to old seasons,\u201d another shocked viewer wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n
While one more expressed that\u00a0Disney\u00a0should make a separate\u00a0streaming service\u00a0just for \u201call the seasons\u201d and noted they\u2019d \u201cpay a lot\u201d for that app.<\/p>\n
