"Dance Moms" made a big splash during its eight year run on the Lifetime network. Abbey Lee Miller's replacement in this reboot – "Dance Moms: A New Era" – Gloria 'Miss Glo' Hampton certainly has big shoes to fill but she already knows the drill(s) – she appeared on season 3 and 4 of the original season with her daughter Kaeli.
See how she (and the dancers) cope as the reality show returns, this time on Hulu, by watching "Dance Moms: A New Era" online — no matter where you are.
"Dance Moms: A New Era" arrives on Hulu in the U.S. on Wednesday, August 7.
• U.S. — Hulu / Disney Plus Bundle
• Rest of the World — Disney Plus (date TBC)
• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN risk-free
There is no script for "Dance Moms: A New Era" – and arguably nobody who could actually write one – because this is reality television in its purest form. In the eight year run of the show before the reboot previous coach Abby Lee Miller endured cancer, served a prison term and admitted to making racially insensitive remarks to the dancers.
And that's before she had to deal with the moms.
Nobody enters the dance studio under any pretenses. It's going to be intense, demanding and competitive and who better to accompany their darling genius children but their protective mothers who are invariably more obsessed with the proceedings and untroubled by self-awareness of any kind.
Some people call it a hate-watch and others just love it but either way the show is unmissable and very revealing of both modern culture and society. Read on to see the ways you can watch "Dance Moms: A New Era" online on streaming platforms the world over.
