MTV has renewed Randy Jackson Presents: America's Best Dance Crew for a second season, The Hollywood Reporter reported Tuesday, with 10 new episodes scheduled to premiere this summer.
For Randy Jackson Presents: America's Best Dance Crew's second season, home viewers will serve as the show's casting director -- with aspiring dance troupes posting audition videos online for fans to vote on, according to The Reporter.
Randy Jackson Presents: America's Best Dance Crew's first season premiered last month and has become Thursday night's top-rated cable telecast in the Adults 12-34 demographic.
The series' second-season renewal presumably provides some vindication for the American Idol judge, who serves as executive producer.
