Before the finale, season 33 of Dancing with the stars averaged a slightly lower same-day audience than season 32. However, according to Disney, the show also broke fan voting records on a weekly basis, indicating audience engagement.

Disney says the season 33 finale once again broke the fan voting record with 32 million votes for the five finalists, which is 12 million more than the semifinals.

The fact that the audience grew dramatically for the finale also suggests that delayed viewing for the remainder of the season was likely quite significant. Disney hasn’t released much in the way of delayed viewing figures, which includes Disney+ viewership.
