“Dancing With the Stars” reveals its Season 35 celebrity lineup and pro partners, setting the roster for the competition this fall. The announced cast includes Jenna Dewan, Harry Shum Jr., and other celebrities from entertainment and other public life, alongside professional dancers.
Multiple outlets frame the reveal as part of an ongoing effort to build on the momentum of the prior season. Variety notes that Season 34 sets a high bar and highlights that Season 35 brings together a mix of reality breakout figures, athletes, and actors. TVLine similarly presents the announcement as a full cast list of 16 celebrities competing for the “Mirrorball” trophy and also references an additional new pro joining the lineup.
While the outlets agree on the main outcome—Season 35’s cast being announced—Variety emphasizes the variety of celebrity backgrounds and which pros return, whereas TVLine focuses on the complete count of competing celebrities and the presence of at least one additional new professional.
