Dancing with the Stars reveals Season 35 cast and pairings

Dancing with the Stars Season 35 celebrity cast professional dancers ABC

ABC has unveiled the cast for Season 35 of ‘Dancing with the Stars’, which is scheduled to premiere on September 15 and 16. The new season will be hosted by Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough, with returning judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, and Derek Hough.

The celebrity lineup includes 16 contestants such as actress Julia Stiles, chef Giada De Laurentiis, ‘The Rookie’ star Jenna Dewan, and Olympic gold medalist Amber Glenn. Other participants include Tatyana Ali, Tyler Cameron, Ezra Frech, Taylor Hanson, Maura Higgins, Conner Leavitt, Ciara Miller, Sarah Jane Nader, Jackson Olson, Guillermo Rodriguez, and Harry Shum Jr.

Notable changes to the professional roster include the absence of Gleb Savchenko and Sasha Farber, both of whom have addressed their exits from the show. Meanwhile, the season will feature the show’s second-ever all-female pairing, consisting of reality star Sarah Jane Nader and professional dancer Hailey Bills. Early betting markets on Kalshi identify Jenna Dewan as a frontrunner to win the Mirrorball Trophy.
