“Dancing With the Stars” concluded its 33rd season with a ratings bang.

Tuesday’s finale of “Dancing With the Stars” brought in 6.36 million viewers on ABC — the biggest audience the ballroom dancing show has seen since its Season 29 finale in November 2020, according to Nielsen live-plus-same-day figures.

The finale episode also drew a 1.14 rating in the key broadcast demo among adults 18-49, ranking as the show’s highest demo rating since the Season 29 premiere in September 2020. Tuesday’s episode further pulled in the show’s biggest demo viewership for a finale in seven years, since May 2018.

As five couples performed their final dances in the hopes of winning the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy, the finale saw a record-breaking 32 million votes as fans backed their favorite pairs.

In addition to scoring both its biggest total and demo viewership since Season 29, the Season 33 finale posted double-digit gains when compared to last season’s finale, increasing its total viewership by 16% and its demo viewership by 70%.

The “DWTS” finale excelled in other key demos as well, pulling in a 1.27 rating among adults 18-34, a 1.61 rating among women 18-49, a 1.9 rating among women 18-34 and a 0.65 rating among men 18-34.

Tuesday’s finale boosted ABC to win the night amongst its broadcast counterparts, with “DWTS” outpacing “The Voice” — its closest broadcast competitor — by 226% as the NBC show brought in a 0.35 rating. The “Dancing” finale also ranked as the highest rated regularly scheduled primetime entertainment telecast since NBC’s “This Is Us” finale, which brought in a 1.28 rating in May 2022.

Season 33 of “Dancing With the Stars” averaged a 0.77 rating, ranking as the No. 1 entertainment series among adults 18-49 for the first time ever.

As the final five couples — Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong; Danny Amendola and Witney Carson; Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson; Ilona Maher and Alan Bersten; and Stephen Nedoroscik and Rylee Arnold — took the stage for the last time this season, Graziadei and Johnson were crowned as Season 33’s winning couple.
