'Dancing with the Stars' cast revealed: Every celebrity competing on season 35

You might’ve noticed we’re in something of a “Dancing with the Stars” renaissance.

The season 34 finale scored the show’s highest ratings since 2016, Deadline reported, and the cast of lovable pros have taken over TikTok and venues near you, since the “DWTS” tour also draws in huge crowds of increasingly younger fans. “We joke about how 10 years ago, we had to make sure the tour was safe for walkers.

Now, we have college students lining up — thousands of them buying merch,” Ryan O’Dowd, president of unscripted at BBC Studios LA, which produces the show, told Variety in November 2025.

After a hugely successful 34th season, the stakes are high for season 35.

The judging team from last season — Derek Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba, and Bruno Tonioli — is back, as well as co-hosts Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro.

After months of speculation, the full cast was announced on September 2 on “Good Morning America.” Among them are reality stars, athletes, child stars, and a couple of people with dance experience.

The cast appeals to millennials, who will be sure to appreciate Julia Stiles, Taylor Hanson, and the “Fresh Prince” reunion between Ribeiro and Tatyana Ali, as well as Gen Z viewers who are “Love Island” and “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” fans.

Here’s the full cast of season 35 and their pro partners.
