One major highlight was the announcement that production on Hulu’s The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives will resume following its earlier pause due to domestic violence investigations.

Mills also discussed the state of ABC’s The Bachelorette, which was pulled just days before its scheduled premiere amid unspecified issues. While no specific timeline was given, the executive hinted at a strategic approach to the franchise’s future, aiming to restore viewer confidence.
In addition, Rob Mills confirmed that Dancing With the Stars has been renewed for its 35th season. The first celebrity contestants announced include Maura Higgins and Ciara Miller, the latter’s casting notably following the recent controversy surrounding the show Summer House.
