Which incredible dance couple is going to dethrone Robert Irwin and Witney Carson on Dancing with the Stars Season 35? All the partners were revealed this morning, and one of them will outlast everyone else and take home the ultimate prize: the coveted mirrorball. After leaks, speculation, and tons of anticipation, we finally know who’s on the show and who they’re dancing with.
Full Dancing with the Stars Cast Revealed
There were a ton of leaks and rumors that preceded the official announcement this morning on Good Morning America. Therefore, the full cast for Dancing with the Stars Season 35 was not necessarily a surprise. Nevertheless, it’s all confirmed now, and each cast member has a pro assigned to them as well.
Julia Stiles and Ezra Sosa
Award-winning actress Julia Stiles, perhaps best known for 10 Things I Hate About You and Silver Linings Playbook, is officially back in the spotlight. She will be paired up with Ezra Sosa, one of the newest pro dancers on the show.
Jenna Dewan and Val Chmerkovskiy
Jenna Dewan is an actress as well, most recently appearing in Supergirl as well as American Horror Story. That wasn’t her initial rise to fame, though. She got her start as a backup dancer for many singers before getting cast in Step It Up. This background makes her and Val Chmerkovskiy, a three-time champion, a formidable duo.
Tatyana Ali and Jan Ravnik
Tatyana Ali is perhaps best known for being in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, where she co-starred with current Dancing with the Stars host Alfonso Ribiero. She’s paired with Jan Ravnik. There were some inklings that Ravnik would not be added back to the cast this year, but he is back for another round.
Taylor Hanson and Britt Stewart
Taylor Hanson, one-third of the 90s pop-rock band Hanson, is also joining the cast for the 35th season. In 2009, he also formed a different band called Tinted Window. He will be paired with Britt Stewart this season.
Ezra Frech and Daniella Karagach
Ezra Frech is the first athlete in the cast. The Paralympian, despite having one leg, competes in the high jump, long jump, and some running events. He’s also a motivational speaker. He is paired up with Daniella Karagach, one of the Season 34 finalists.
Amber Glenn and Pasha Pashkov
Another Olympic athlete, Amber Glenn is one of the most decorated members of the Dancing with the Stars cast. She is an Olympic gold medalist and a three-time U.S. national champion in figure skating. She’ll be paired up with Pasha Pashkov this season.
Connor Wood and Rylee Arnold
Social media superstar Connor Wood has also been added to the cast. Boasting over a million followers, Wood has also become a podcaster, along with content creation. He also worked with NBC on the Olympic Games as a correspondent. This season, he’s dancing with Rylee Arnold.
Sarah Jane Nader and Hailey Bills
Sarah Jane Nader, sister of former Dancing with the Stars competitor and social media star Brooks Nader, is in the cast. She’s also on a reality show, and in a rare twist, she’ll be part of an all-female dance duo with Hailey Bills in Season 35.
Tyler Cameron and Sharna Burgess
Tyler Cameron got famous initially as a competitor on The Bachelorette, which is another ABC show that often functions as a feeder for Dancing with the Stars. He’s gone on to do many other things, including Season 35, where he’ll dance with Sharna Burgess.
Giada DeLaurentiis and Alan Bersten
One of the most notable cast members, Giada DeLaurentiis is of Food Network fame. She’s one of the most famous television chefs and had a 12-year show. She is going to be paired with Alan Bersten, who danced notably with Elaine Hendrix last season.
Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Chmerkovskiy
Grey’s Anatomy star Harry Shum Jr. is part of the Dancing with the Stars cast for Season 35. He also appeared in Glee and Everything Everywhere All at Once. He’s set to be in the Crazy Rich Asians spinoff, too. He’ll be partnered with Jenna Chmerkovskiy.
Connor Leavitt and Adele Zaikman
Connor Leavitt is perhaps best known as Season 34 competitor Whitney Leavitt’s husband. He’s obviously been featured on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives as well. He is partnered with Adele Zaikman, the first-ever winner of the Next Pro competition that just aired.
Guillermo Rodriguez and Witney Carson
Guillermo Rodriguez is the sidekick to Jimmy Fallon on late-night television, and he’s a comedian. He’s been on the show for 23 years, and now he’s part of the cast. He’ll be dancing with reigning Mirrorball champion Witney Carson.
Maura Higgins and Mark Ballas
After competing against one another on The Traitors, another feeder show, earlier this year, Maura Higgins and Mark Ballas will be partnered together on Dancing with the Stars Season 35. She campaigned to be partnered with Mark, and she got her wish.
Ciara Miller and Brandon Armstrong
Reality star Ciara Miller has officially joined the cast, too. Known mostly for Summer House and for serving as a co-host for Love Island USA: Aftersun, she is going to dance in Season 35 with Brandon Armstrong.
