“Dancing With the Stars” is continuing its ratings shimmy this season, as this week’s “Halloween Night” episode on Oct. 28 averaged 6.74 million total viewers, according to ABC. That’s another season high, the network reports — and the sixth straight week “DWTS” has been up since its season premiere.
The “Halloween Night” episode was up 2% from the previous week (6.63 million on Oct. 21) and rose despite airing opposite World Series Game 4 on Fox. The episode was the No. 1 non-sports program of the evening on the networks, behind the World Series.
The episode also averaged a 1.36 rating among adults 18-49 — which repped the show’s second-highest number this season (down slightly from a season high a week ago, at 1.38).
The show also towered over last year’s “Halloween Night” by double digits in Total Viewers (+41% – 6.74 million vs. 4.77 million) while nearly doubling in Adults 18-49 (+97% – 1.36 rating vs. 0.69 rating).
The repped the most-watched “Dancing with the Stars” “Halloween Night” episode among viewers in seven years (2018) and its top adults 18-49 average in eight years (2017), the network said.
The show, produced by BBC Studios, also saw a fan voting high on the night to 55.26 million (up 4% from 53.10 million the previous week).
According to ABC, “Dancing with the Stars” is the only fall show to increase its overall audience for six consecutive weeks following its season premiere since September 1991, when Nielsen electronic measurement began.
Next week’s episode, “Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Night,” Tuesday, Nov. 4, at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and Disney+, and streams the next day on Hulu. Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee Flavor Flav will guest star as part of the judging panel.
