The Dancing With the Stars ballroom is filling up fast for season 35.
While simultaneously confirming the reality competition’s renewal, Hulu shared during the Get Real House event in April that Summer House’s Ciara Miller and Love Island star Maura Higgins would be lacing up their dancing shoes. The following month, Savannah Bananas second baseman Jackson Olson joined the cast.
The milestone season comes after wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin and pro Witney Carson took home the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy in season 34. Irwin, for his part, will also play a role in finding the next pro dancer for the show.
