Dancing With the Stars is all set to premiere on Tuesday, September 16, 2025, on ABC. Familiar faces like Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro will be returning as co-hosts. In an exclusive interview with Parade, Alfonso Ribeiro expressed gratitude while saying how he is simply ecstatic to rejoin the close-knit family once again.
The entire cast of pro dancers has been revealed by judge Carrie Ann Inaba, as she posted two slides via her Instagram story. The list is quite an interesting one, as it includes one of Taylor Swift’s Eras tour dancers.
This season is welcoming several familiar faces along with a few new ones as well.
This is going to be the eighth season in which Brandon Armstrong will be participating in the show. He was earlier paired with Pretty Little Liars alum Chandler Kinney, as the two ultimately won bronze.
This season marks the tenth season for Alan Bersten. He earlier won the Mirror Ball alongside Bachelorette star Hannah Brown in season 28.
Ezra Sosa made his debut in Dancing with the Stars season 33 and soon became a fan favourite. His partnership with Anna Delbert was short-lived but went viral in no time.
