Surprises Greet New Season of ‘Dancing with the Stars’
The new season adds a celebrity cast, returning judges and hosts, and a pro from The Next Pro after Zaikman won its inaugural finale.
The two-night season 35 premiere of "Dancing with the Stars" kicks off on Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and Disney+, with the second episode airing Wednesday at the same time.
A fresh group of celebrities including actresses Jenna Dewan and Julia Stiles, chef Giada De Laurentiis, and "Jimmy Kimmel Live" personality Guillermo Rodriguez are competing this season.
Professional dancer Zaikman joins the lineup after winning the inaugural season of "The Next Pro," while longtime pro Sharna Burgess competes for the first time since 2021.
Returning as co-hosts, Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough lead the show, while judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough, and Bruno Tonioli return to the judges' table.
Episodes will stream on Hulu the next day following broadcast, while The Red Carpet recently previewed the season with advice from former champions and a look inside the first-ever "DWTS" Con.
