According to Deadline, the series has seen a 20% week-to-week increase in ratings this season. Lauren Blincoe, Senior Vice President of Current Programming for Telepictures, said the following about the renewal:
“Thirty-three seasons of Extra reflects an enduring vision and a commitment to constant reinvention. Nobody does this better than the Extra team, led by our phenomenal Executive Producer Jeremy Spiegel, supported by our dedicated staff and crew, and brought to life by Derek’s singular talent, further strengthened by the on-air excellence of Mona and Terri. As we head into Season 33, we’re immensely proud of this powerhouse group and deeply grateful to our station partners and loyal viewers who’ve supported Extra for more than three decades.”
Frank Cicha, Executive Vice President of Programming for Fox Television Stations, also said, “Amidst challenging times in syndication, the reinvention of Extra has emerged as a genuinely positive story. Congrats to Derek Hough, the entire team at Extra, and everyone at Telepictures.”
