The source said,

"[Hough] brought fresh energy to the role and show, and is hugely popular with his screen stars, contestants, and crew. Derek not only stepped in but was a hit from the start.

The source added,

"Len is a legend and has been a great servant to the show, but times are different, and so are the considerations."

While executive producer and host, Tyra Banks, talking with the Hollywood Life, said,

"I think Derek is so fantastic. He has such compassion, and he dances his ass off. He gives the most amazing critiques; He’s firm yet warm. He did a really fantastic job. I miss Len. I feel like there’s a way to have them both be here. I have a little notepad on my phone about how I can make that work. I’ve got to get that approved by the team, but it also depends on the health of not just the nation, but the globe, for that to happen."
