Will there be an ABDC Season 6?

No announcement was made at the America's Best Dance Crew Season 5 Finale or on the Champions for Charity show about a Season 6. So -- what's the story?

I spoke to some of ABDC's producers about it after the finale. The simple answer: the producers are currently in negotiations with MTV, but nothing has been decided. There may be some issues about ratings that would impact plans. If there is a Season 6, it would likely be on a weeknight instead of Sunday, based on ratings for the previous seasons. And, if there is a Season 6, it might differ from prior seasons (e.g., more international crews, return of ABDC alums), but this is also part of the current negotiations.

To support this report, here's a Pacific Rim Video interview with producers Howard Schwartz and Abe Hoch. They talk about Season 5, the possibility of Season 6, as well as the charity show and Hip Hop International 2010.
