What is Dance Monsters Season 1 About?
The premise is simple: 15 contestants are transformed into CGI creatures by the magic of mo-cap to perform in front of audiences.
Given how shaky motion capture is in real life, a lot of what’s here is up to the editing team to match up the dancers backstage with their digital avatars shown on-stage with audiences.
The end result is clever for those watching at home, as it gives the impression that these monsters are out in force. In reality, these guys are most likely reacting to an empty stage.
Once the illusion is broken, the audience’s reactions – complete with the expected clapping, gasping, and a standing ovation – begin.
Dance Monsters Release Date
The dance competition series will premiere on Netflix on Friday, December 16th.
There will be eight 40-minute episodes available beginning at 12 a.m. PT/3 a.m. ET.
Those in the Midwest can expect a 2 a.m. release time.
Have Dance Monsters Been Renewed for Season 2?
Dance Monsters has not been renewed for a second season as of this writing. Given the nature of the show’s content, this could change if it performs well for Netflix.

Before renewing a show, Netflix considers a variety of factors, including how many people initially watch it and the drop-off rate. Some shows are canceled or renewed quickly (for example, Squid Game, Bridgerton & Irregulars), while others can take months before Netflix makes a decision about a show’s future.
So far, audiences have had a mixed reaction to Dance Monsters, with many pointing out, as we did, that the “fake” audience reaction to what are otherwise empty stages (the CGI monsters are added after filming) cheapens the experience.
Given the way the show is set up, we believe it will be renewed for a second season. It follows a lot of the hallmarks that have made X-Factor and America’s Got Talent so successful over the years and is the typical reality series format that appeals to the masses.
