The Emmy-winning choreographer and Dancing With the Stars legend is bringing his life story to Netflix in a groundbreaking new series.

A Historic Deal for Dance

Netflix has officially announced a $13.5 million deal with Derek Hough to produce a seven-episode docu-series chronicling his rise from small-town Utah to international superstardom. The series will blend behind-the-scenes footage, career-defining performances, and never-before-told stories from the man who redefined modern dance on television and the stage.

From Ballroom to Global Stage

Hough, 39, has spent decades captivating audiences with his unmatched footwork, jaw-dropping choreography, and six Dancing With the Stars Mirrorball trophies. The Netflix series promises to explore not only his professional triumphs, but also the personal struggles and sacrifices that shaped his extraordinary career.

What Fans Can Expect

Each episode will focus on a different era of his journey — from his early training in London, to his Emmy-winning routines on DWTS, to his recent live tours and viral performances. Hough will also reflect on his relationship with sister Julianne Hough, his marriage to Hayley Erbert, and the moments that tested his resilience.

Derek Hough Speaks Out

In a statement, Derek said: “This project is more than a series — it’s my life in motion. Dance has been my voice when words failed, and I can’t wait to share that story with the world through Netflix.”

A Must-Watch for Dance Fans

The untitled series is set to begin filming later this year, with a tentative release date in 2026. Fans are already calling it a “love letter to dance” and one of the most exciting collaborations between Netflix and a performer in recent memory.
