Dancing With the Stars is returning with one of its most recognisable celebrity line-ups in recent years, mixing Hollywood actors, Olympic champions, reality TV stars, musicians and social media personalities in a bid for the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.
ABC officially unveiled the full cast for Season 35 on September 2 during Good Morning America, confirming 16 celebrities and their professional dance partners ahead of the show's two-night premiere on September 15 and 16.
The new season follows one of Dancing With the Stars’ strongest years in 2025, when the show saw renewed audience interest and record engagement across Disney+ and social media. Familiar hosts Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough are back alongside judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough, while the professional line-up welcomes fresh faces and returning favourites.
