The 19th edition of the Polish television program ‘Dancing with the Stars’ (Taniec z Gwiazdami) on Polsat has progressed through its autumn season. Julia Wieniawa joined the judging panel, replacing Ewa Kasprzyk. In recent comments, Wieniawa expressed a preference for meeting a partner through a chance, everyday encounter rather than via social media or public interviews, noting that discussing past relationships often results in unwanted marriage proposals on Instagram.

As the competition has moved forward, the number of remaining duos has decreased. The fifth episode featured a family theme where participants danced with relatives, such as Mandaryna performing with her son, Xavier, and Helena Englert dancing with her father, Jan Englert. A new romantic connection was also confirmed between a participant and a professional dancer, a relationship noted as being distinct because the individuals are competing on opposite sides of the competition.

The judging panel consists of Iwona Pavlović, Rafał Maserak, Tomasz Wygoda, and Julia Wieniawa, with hosting duties handled by Paulina Sykut-Jeżyna and Krzysztof Ibisz. During the eighth episode, the show introduced a historic rule change: a jury-awarded immunity. In a move described as the first time such a mechanic has been implemented in any global version of the format, the jury will select a winning duo during a boogie-woogie marathon. This winning pair will be guaranteed safety from elimination for that week and will perform their prepared choreography without being scored by the judges. Current participants include Marta ‘Mandaryna’ Wiśniewska, Helena Englert, Izabela Kuna, and Piotr ‘Guma’ Gumulec, with recent episodes averaging 1.85 million viewers.
