Derek Hough Teases New Element To 'World of Dance' Ahead of Premiere Tonight

World of Dance returns for season three TONIGHT and JJJ can hardly wait to watch!

Derek Hough will return as judge along with Jennifer Lopez and Ne-Yo as dancers from around the world come to compete for the title of champ, and the $1 million grand prize.

“What I love about this season is last season there were certain categories, certain divisions that were stronger than others, and then this season, it’s the opposite,” Derek shared in a new interview with Parade. “So, in the division that wasn’t as strong last season, in this season that division is really strong. So that’s exciting to see.

He adds that the show is introducing a new element as well called Redemption.

“Production always tries to add new things and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. This is unbelievable. This new addition to the show is so exciting and it’s made for the most dramatic moments, the most revealing moments.”

Some of the dancers you’ll see this season are sisters Ava and Ellie Wagner, Alex Arce, Kevin Avila and Sara Gutz who form The Trilogy; Brianna Haith; John Wesley Austin and Lauren Yakima.

World of Dance premieres TONIGHT, Tuesday, February 26th @ 8PM ET/PT on NBC. It will move to Sundays @ 7PM, starting March 3rd.
