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.
“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, like when the new season premieres, how to stream it, and what you can expect from the upcoming lineup.
When Does Dancing With the Stars Season 34 Premiere? 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.
Who Is in the DWTS Season 34 Cast? The first celebrity contestant confirmed for Season 34 is 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.
It’s official, I’m heading to Hollywood for Dancing With The Stars Season 34 🎉 This has been a dream of mine since I was a little kid watching my sister’s incredible journey on the show back in 2016. I cannot believe it is about to become a reality. So grateful 🙌🏼

The full cast of celebrities and professional dancers will be announced closer to the premiere date.
