Dancing With the Stars fans, get ready to step back into the ballroom.

Season 35 is almost here, and fans are ready to watch the new cast — which features reality stars, singers, comedians, and an Olympian — hit the floor. They’ll have big shoes to fill after season 34 winner Robert Irwin and his partner, Witney Carson, who took home the Mirrorball Trophy last year.

Here’s everything to know about what’s to come for season 35.

As soon as fans learned of the news, they were hyped up on social media.

“THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY!!!!!! 🪩🪩🪩🪩,” one person wrote in the comments. “Tinkin it’s already a 10/10 season for me 🪩,” another cheered. “I tink I’m gonna finally watch an entire season ❤️,” a different follower added.

Who Will Be on Dancing With the Stars Season 35?

On September 2, fans learned the full cast for Dancing With the Stars season 35, along with which pro each celebrity is paired with:

  • The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star Tatyana Ali with Jan Ravnik
  • TV personality/host Tyler Cameron with Sharna Burgess
  • Celebrity chef/host Giada De Laurentiis with Alan Bersten
  • The Rookie star Jenna Dewan with Val Chmerkovskiy
  • Paralympian gold medalist Ezra Frech with Daniella Karagach
  • Olympic gold-medal-winning figure skater Amber Glenn with Pasha Pashkov

The castings of Ciara, Maura, Jackson, and Guillermo were announced ahead of the full cast reveal. Judge Derek Hough alluded to Jackson’s casting earlier in 2026.

“So, a few weeks back, I tried dropping a subtle, not so subtle, hint about Jackson stepping up to the plate for Dancing with the Stars,” he wrote on Instagram in May 2026. “Well, the cat’s out of the bag! Can’t wait to see him trade home runs for heel leads and curveballs for cha-cha-cha. Let’s just hope he doesn’t slip on any ballroom banana peels, though; if he can dodge a fastball, he can handle a quickstep!”

With a cast this diverse — spanning athletes, actors, reality stars, and comedians — season 35 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated installments of Dancing With the Stars yet.
