I won’t be able to stay away for long, and plan to return to mentor contestants as much as possible ?? It has been an absolute thrill to be a part of this incredible, groundbreaking show from the very beginning, and I am forever grateful to my @nbc family, @jlo, @derekhough @neyo and everyone involved in this journey?? We are changing the dance world and giving opportunities to dancers in ways I've only dreamed of! Can't wait to share more news with you soon. Much love to everyone. ????"

According to a source, due to Dewan's busy production schedule, she couldn’t make World of Dance work in her calendar and therefore the network decided not to have a host for this upcoming season. However, she will be back this season as a mentor, ET has learned.
Interestingly enough, Dewan's first episode on Fox's The Resident airs on Monday night. Dewan will have a recurring role in season two as a medical sales rep.
