"Dancing With the Stars," "The Bachelor" and the Mark Burnett-produced "Shark Tank" were greenlit for renewal by ABC on Thursday.

The renewals hardly come as a surprise; "Dancing" and "The Bachelor" remain solid draws for the network, with "DWTS" frequently winning most-watched status against its competitors.

The reality series' renewals follow on the heels of ABC renewing seven scripted series, including the commercial and critical hit "Modern Family," "Grey's Anatomy," and the freshman offerings "Suburgatory," "Revenge" and "Once Upon a Time."

"Dancing With the Stars" will enter its 15th season, while  "The Bachelor" will head into its 17th season and "Shark Tank" will receive its fourth season.
