Meanwhile, fans of the long-running dance competition are already excited for another season. However, FOX reportedly has not renewed "So You Think You Can Dance" yet. Despite the show having a solid fan base and gaining a lot of social media attention, it apparently reached new lows this season sometime in July. If this would become the basis for the show's renewal, the dance competition might be on thin ice.
Fans are encouraged to wait for further announcements from the show and the network.
