Len’s fellow judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough They were all emotional in the surprising announcement – they even shed tears. And honestly, we can’t really blame them. Len will be very missed.

Not only did he start out as the main judge, along with Carrie Ann and Bruno, on Dancing with the stars when it premiered in 2005, but Len also served as a main judge on BBC One’s dance competition Seriously to dance from 2004 to 2016. And the only season of DWTS that he didn’t appear in Season 21, but that’s because he has schedules and commitments to his family. He had a limited role in Season 29 because he didn’t come to the US during the COVID-19 pandemic, but he still produced short segments for the show, and Derek Hough sat as a judge for him. When Len returned in Season 30, the three-judge format was expanded to four so Derek could stay on the panel. At this point, it’s unclear whether Disney+ will find a way to fill Len’s vacancy or return to a three-judge format with Derek, Carrie Ann, and Bruno.
