‘Dancing With the Stars’ will officially be back for Season 34 at ABC — find out who’s already joined the cast!
Dancing With the Stars‘ long line of Mirrorball winners won’t end with Joey Graziadei: The reality competition has been formally renewed for Season 34 at ABC, TVLine has learned.
What’s more, the upcoming cycle has already found its first contestant in wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin, son of the late Steve Irwin and sister of Bindi Irwin, who emerged victorious from Season 21 with pro dancer-turned-judge Derek Hough.

Robert’s previous TV experience includes the 2018-2022 reality show Crikey! It’s the Irwins (which aired on Animal Planet and discovery+) and the Australian edition of I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! (which he began co-hosting with Julia Morris in 2024).
The full list of Season 34 contestants and pro partners will be announced at a later date. There’s also no exact premiere date yet for Dancing‘s return, but the show is traditionally part of ABC’s fall primetime lineup.
Dancing With the Stars last season averaged shy of 6 million total weekly viewers (with delayed playback), up a tick year over year and ranking as TV’s second-most-watched reality program this TV season.
As has been the case for the past two seasons, new episodes of Dancing With the Stars will be simulcast on ABC and Disney+, and they’ll stream the next day on Hulu. Dancing wrapped its 33rd season in November 2024, with onetime Bachelor star Graziadei and pro partner Jenna Johnson taking home the Mirrorball trophy.
