Jennifer Lopez will pull double duty on her upcoming NBC reality competition series “World of Dance,” serving as both executive producer and judge, Variety has learned.
“World of Dance” was greenlit this July with a 10-episode order, and when the series was picked up, Lopez was only attached in a producing capacity, though sources said an on-camera role was always a possibility.
Lopez, of course, has experience as a reality TV judge, just coming off of “American Idol.” The multi-hyphenate has strong ties with NBC, as she stars in the network’s scripted drama “Shades of Blue,” which is entering its second season.
Lopez’s company Nuyorican Productions is producing “World of Dance” with Universal Television Alternative Studio.
“I identify with the struggles, passion, discipline, competition and exhilaration of dance. I am excited that with this show we can skyrocket a dancer’s career and help guide them to success,” said...
