DANCE MONSTERS: COMPETITION AXED BY NETFLIX AFTER ONE SERIES

Streaming giant Netflix have axed dance competition Dance Monsters after one series. The series was hosted by Ashley Roberts with judges Ashley Banjo, Ne-Yo and Lele Pons.

Dance Monsters is a large-scale dancing competition with a monster twist, giving a colourful global stage to people passionate about dance, as they compete in a way they’ve never been able to before.

Through the power of VFX, live motion capture and facial recognition, competitors will transform into loveable and fantastical dance monsters that come to life in front of an expert panel of judges and a live studio audience.

A source told The Sun: "Dance Monsters was like Netflix's version of ITV's The Masked Dancer. The show had huge potential and it was widely thought it would be given another series. But when it came down to crunching numbers the ratings and price tag meant the project was left at one series."

Netflix declined to comment to The Sun.
