'Dancing With the Stars' Reveals Its Full Season 35 Cast
Sixteen celebrities found out Wednesday morning on "Good Morning America" who they'll be dancing with this fall. ABC's ballroom competition unveiled its complete Season 35 lineup and pro pairings live, closing out a rollout that had trickled celebrity names out in pieces since April.
The confirmed cast spans a wide slice of American fame: "Save the Last Dance" actress Julia Stiles, paired with pro Ezra Sosa; "Glee" alum Harry Shum Jr., dancing with Jenna Johnson; Food Network star Giada De Laurentiis, paired with Alan Bersten; and "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" alum Tatyana Ali. Also competing: "The Bachelorette" star Tyler Cameron, paired with Sharna Burgess in her first season back after a multi-year hiatus from the show; Hanson frontman Taylor Hanson, paired with Britt Stewart; and Paralympic gold medalist Ezra Frech, paired with Daniella Karagach.
Reality television supplied a large share of the roster. "Love Island" and "The Traitors" personality Maura Higgins is paired with Mark Ballas. "Summer House" star Ciara Miller, whose season was defined by an on-camera betrayal by a former friend, is dancing with Brandon Armstrong. "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" cast member Conner Leavitt was paired with Adele Zaikman, who won this summer's spinoff competition "Dancing With the Stars: The Next Generation" and earned the pairing as her prize. Sarah Jane Nader, a model whose sister Brooks Nader competed on Season 33, was paired with first-time pro Hailey Bills. Rounding out the cast: Olympic figure skating gold medalist Amber Glenn, paired with Pasha Pashkov; comedian and podcast host Connor Wood, paired with Rylee Arnold; actress Jenna Dewan; and actor and comedian Guillermo Rodriguez.
Glenn arrives with the season's strongest athletic résumé. The 2024-25 Grand Prix Final champion helped Team USA win figure skating team gold at the 2026 Winter Olympics and became the first US woman to land three triple axels across a single Olympics - a run that also made her the first openly LGBTQ+ US women's figure skating champion to reach that level of mainstream recognition.
Season 35 premieres Sept. 15 with a two-night launch running into Sept. 16, on both ABC and Disney+. Alfonso Ribeiro returns as host with Julianne Hough co-hosting, and Derek Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli return on the judging panel. The new champion will follow Robert Irwin, who won Season 34 alongside partner Witney Carson.
