After an exhilarating season that broke viewing and voting records and sparked viral trends, last night’s finale episode of “Dancing with the Stars” ended with wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin crowned as the new Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy recipient.
Florida-based social media influencer and recent Sports Illustrated cover model Alix Earle took second place with the only perfect score of the night.
Now, fans of the hit reality show are wondering how soon they will get to experience it all again. Here’s what we know so far about the next season of “Dancing with the Stars,” as of Nov. 26.
Will there be a Season 35 of Dancing With the Stars in 2026?
As of Nov. 26, ABC has not yet officially announced another season of “Dancing with the Stars.” However, it is likely to be renewed, given season 34’s record-breaking voting and high viewership.
Before the Semifinals, the show’s live-plus-same-day viewership for Nov. 11 was roughly 6.7 million, its highest for the episode before the Semifinals in six years, according to The Wrap. And during the live finale, host Alfonso Ribeiro announced that a record-breaking 72 million votes were cast.
Some outlets also noted that ABC typically doesn’t announce a new season of the show until it’s closer to the premiere date. For example, this season’s renewal was announced in April 2025, five months before the show premiered in September.
When will season 35 of ‘Dancing with the Stars’ premiere?
There isn’t a date for next season’s premiere. “Dancing with the Stars” historically premieres in mid-to-late September.
Will all the pro partners return to ‘Dancing with the Stars’ for season 35? What about the judges?
It’s unknown. In an interview with US Weekly, dancer Rylee Arnold said they do not know whether they will return until summer.
There has also been no announcement on whether any of the judges will be leaving the show. As of Nov. 26, it’s likely that next season’s lineup will still be Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough, and Bruno Tonioli, with Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro as the co-hosts.
