Maks Chmerkovskiy Hints at DWTS Return
29 Sep
Summary
- Maks Chmerkovskiy is open to a "Dancing With the Stars" return.
- He has huge plans for his upcoming tour in March 2027.
- Chmerkovskiy previously stated the boat for his return had sailed.
Professional dancer Maks Chmerkovskiy recently indicated a potential return to "Dancing With the Stars." He stated he is willing to "entertain the offer" from ABC, a shift from his previous sentiment in December 2025 when he believed his comeback opportunity had passed.
Chmerkovskiy acknowledged that while he would consider an offer, his and wife Peta Murgatroyd's "huge plans" for their "Burn the Floor" tour, launching in March 2027, could influence their decision. He noted that they might not be in a position to accept a DWTS role due to these existing commitments.
His tenure on the show concluded in 2017 after 17 seasons, with a brief return in 2016. He won the mirrorball trophy once with Meryl Davis during season 18. Chmerkovskiy cited growing his family as a reason for his departure, noting they "just grew up."
He and Murgatroyd, who competed for 15 seasons before departing after season 32 in 2023, are parents to three sons. The couple married in 2017. "Dancing With the Stars" airs Tuesdays on ABC and streams on Hulu.
