This latest adaptation of Dancing with the Stars is testament to the international appeal of the extremely successful franchise.
“We have had an eye on this format for quite some time and are very excited to finally bring the amazing energy, entertainment and of course glitter finally to Iceland,” said Johanna Gisladottir, Head of Acquisitions and Programming at Stod 2.
