Dancing with the Stars season 34 is almost here, with the show poised to celebrate its 20th anniversary this fall.
A teaser clip featuring co-hosts Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro dancing to Pump Up the Jam has fans buzzing as the new season approaches. Season 34 will mark a milestone for the long-running competition and will air on ABC and Disney+ on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT, with new episodes streaming the following day on Hulu via Disney+.
The full cast for season 34 will be unveiled on Good Morning America on Wednesday, Sept. 3, at 7 a.m. ET. In the months leading up to the reveal, several stars have already been announced as part of the lineup, including wildlife conservationist and photographer Robert Irwin and influencer Alix Earle. Also previously announced were Whitney Leavitt and Jen Affleck from the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
A new pro dancer, Jan Ravnik, was confirmed to join season 34 on Aug. 28 during an appearance on GMA. Ravnik, who has spent time touring the world as a backup dancer for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, expressed excitement about bringing his experience to the ballroom and chasing the Mirrorball Trophy.
Judges are expected to return for season 34, with Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough anticipated back at the judging table.
Last season’s winner was Joey Graziadei, who partnered with Jenna Johnson to lift the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy. They were followed by runners-up Ilona Maher and Alan Bersten, and third-place duo Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong.
The upcoming season promises a mix of familiar faces and new energy as DWTS kicks off its 20th anniversary run. Viewers can expect the usual blend of high-energy performances, jaw-dropping spins, and fresh twists that keep the ballroom buzzing through the fall.
