Dancing with the Stars is twirling back onto our screens for its 34th season this fall! The long-running series will once again be hosted by Alfonso Ribeiro, with Julianne Hough returning as co-host. At the judges’ table, fans can expect to see familiar faces: Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, and Derek Hough are all set to return — and the full cast is being revealed on Good Morning America, per tradition.
“Every season brings a new level of energy, emotion, and storytelling,” Hough said in a recent interview. “We can’t wait to share this next chapter with the fans.”
With excitement building, here’s what to know so far about the new season, from when it premieres, how to stream it, and what you can expect from the upcoming lineup.
ABC has officially renewed Dancing with the Stars for its 34th season, set to premiere in Fall 2025. While an exact date hasn’t been announced, the show traditionally kicks off in mid to late September.
The first celebrity contestant confirmed for season 34 was confirmed to be Robert Irwin, son of the late Steve Irwin. Robert, a 21-year-old wildlife conservationist and TV personality, expressed his excitement about joining the show, following in the footsteps of his sister Bindi Irwin, who won season 21 with her dance partner, Derek Hough.
