SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE: Nigel Lythgoe on a Potential Season 11

Last week, Fox Chairman of Entertainment, Kevin Reilly told reporters after his Television Critics Association session that he was hopeful about SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE returning the following season. And since the TCA made a stop over at the SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE set earlier this week, I wanted see how SYTYCD executive producer/judge Nigel Lythgoe was feeling about continuing on with the show.

“My hopes are definitely for an eleventh season, of course,” he told me. “I haven’t heard any feedback so far…Since we provided almost half of their Emmy nominations, hopefully that will have a bearing on whether we’re invited back.”

Are you hoping SYTYCD returns next season?

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE airs Tuesdays at 8 PM on Fox.
