Dancing With the Stars fans won’t learn the full official cast for season 35 until September, but the person responsible for booking celebrities onto the show has dropped some new clues about what they can expect from the newest crop of celebrities.
The ABC show is officially returning for a 35th season this fall, and the dancing competition series has already confirmed three of the celebrities who will take a turn on the dance floor in an attempt to win the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.
While attending the Gracie Awards in Beverly Hills, Katz opened up on the red carpet about the upcoming season and her efforts to secure a prime cast of celebrities.
While she wouldn’t reveal any identities, she did share that a cast is already close to being fully drawn up–and there is a specific vibe going into the new season.
“I’m really excited about what I’m putting together this year. I’m even a little bit earlier than I usually am. I’m about two-thirds of the way done already,” she told ABC 7 Eyewitness News.
While speaking with Season 34 competitors and award show attendees, Danielle Fishel and Jordan Chiles, she also confirmed the cast would be the same size as the one from their season, which consisted of 14 celebrities, before sharing that things would be “competitive.”
“It’s coming together great. I will say, if it’s a hint at all…I feel like one of the many reasons why the show is doing as well as it’s become very competitive,” she said.
“I feel like it’s a little bit more like a sporting event than it used to be. So you could imagine there’s going to be people that, the competition keeps raising.”
What that could mean in terms of competitors remains to be seen.
Thus far, three stars have been confirmed as part of the show’s cast. Traitors Season 4 stars Maura Higgins and Ciara Miller–alums from Love Island UK and Summer House–were both announced at the Hulu Get Real Event in April.
At Disney/ABC Upfronts in May, Savannah Bananas star Jackson Olson was announced to have also signed on to join the cast.
Rumors have begun to fly around One Tree Hill alum and Everyone is Doing Great star James Lafferty, 40, after he took to social media to share that he would have interest, but outlined a condition for competing involving his show and how it performed on Netflix.
