A few celebrities are already prepared to hit the dance floor when they tango, waltz and jive on Dancing With the Stars! Coming this fall, season 35 will feature a fresh set of famous faces, from reality TV stars to actors and more, who will compete for the Mirrorball Trophy.
Although we’re still months away from the season 35 premiere, a few of the cast members were unveiled in April — and both of them have had their fair share of reality TV.
Below, News47.us has the latest updates on season 35 of DWTS.
At the time of publication, season 35 of DWTS does not have a set release date. But, as always, the new season is expected to premiere in the fall this year.
Summer House star Ciara Miller and Love Island UK alum Maura Higgins were the first stars to be announced to join season 35 of DWTS. The casting news broke in April 2026 at Hulu’s Get Real House Live. DWTS co-host and dancing pro Julianne Hough spoke with Maura at the event about the upcoming season.
“You’ve been manifesting this,” Julianne told Maura. The reality star replied, “I have. I’m a strong believer in manifesting. I had it on my vision board. And now it is happening, which I cannot believe, and I know it’s going to be so, so hard, but because I really want to do it, I’m going to put my all into it.”
