The full cast for Season 35 of "Dancing With The Stars" was confirmed Wednesday morning during a live reveal on "Good Morning America," kicking off one of the show's most talked-about lineups in recent memory.
Hollywood Meets The Ballroom
Leading the pack is Emmy- and Golden Globe-nominated actress and filmmaker Julia Stiles, alongside celebrity backup dancer Jenna Dewan and actress-author Tatyana Ali, who are joined by Paralympic gold medalist Ezra Frech and Emmy-winning chef Giada De Laurentiis in a cast that spans generations and industries.
Music, Sport And Social Media Collide
Rounding out the roster are Hanson band member Taylor Hanson, Olympic figure skating champion Amber Glenn, social-media personality and podcast host Connor Wood, and "The Bachelorette" star Tyler Cameron, giving the season a mix of music royalty, elite athletes and online fan bases that producers are betting will translate into a ratings boost.
A Season Built For Buzz
The announcement quickly became one of the most shared entertainment stories of the day, with fans online immediately speculating about early frontrunners and dream partner pairings for the pro dancers. Networks have leaned increasingly on unconventional casting in recent seasons, and this year's blend of athletes, musicians and digital-first stars follows that pattern closely.
What's Next
Pro dancer pairings and the season premiere date are expected to be announced in the coming weeks, with the show returning to its usual competitive format of weekly eliminations judged on technique, chemistry and audience votes.
