Over the summer, a rep for Lifetimeconfirmed that productionforDance Momswas casting and Miller was involved in the process. At the time, however, determination on an eighth season was yet to be made.

The dance instructor first announced herresignation from the showin March 2017 through anInstagram post, in which she accused officials behind the series of treating her “like dirt” after she wrapped filming for season 7B.
“I WILL NO LONGER TAKE PART IN DANCE MOMS,” Miller wrote. “FOR THE PAST SIX YEARS/SEVEN SEASONS I HAVE ASKED, BEGGED, AND EVEN DEMANDED CREATIVE CREDIT FOR ALL THE IDEAS, AWARD WINNING ROUTINES, THEMES AND COSTUMING – TO NO AVAIL!”
“I don’t have a problem working with any kid, I love children and have dedicated my life to making other people’s children successful!” she continued. “I JUST HAVE A PROBLEM WITH BEING MANIPULATED, DISRESPECTED, AND USED – DAY IN AND DAY OUT BY MEN WHO NEVER TOOK A DANCE LESSON IN THEIR LIVES AND TREAT WOMEN LIKE DIRT!”

Her return to work comes just seven months after Miller suffered a severe health crisis.
In April 2018, Miller — who wasreleased from prisonthe month prior — went intoemergency surgeryafter experiencing “excruciating neck pain” and weakness in her arm. What doctors initially thought to be a spinal infection was then preliminarily diagnosed as non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, cancer that develops in the lymphatic system.
“If we didn’t do something, she was going to die,” Dr. Hooman M. Melamed, an orthopedic spine surgeon at Cedar Sinai Marina Del Rey Hospital who treated the star previously told PEOPLE. “Her blood pressure was bottoming out. She was not doing well.”
Since then, Miller has not confirmed if the preliminary diagnosis was correct but has beenreceiving chemotherapy, rehabilitation, and documenting her journey via social media. Although sheleft her rehabilitation facilityin September, sources close to the reality star said they were unsure of Miller’s likelihood to fully recover.
Before her health crisis, Miller had been living ina halfway housesince serving her 366-day sentence for bankruptcy fraud at the Victorville Federal Correctional Institution in California, which she entered in July.
She was officially released from the halfway house in May.
