“Dancing with the Stars: The Next Pro” is launching as a spinoff built around selecting a new professional dancer for the upcoming “Dancing with the Stars” season. Multiple outlets report that the series is hosted by Robert Irwin, the winner of “Dancing with the Stars” Season 34. The program functions as a pathway into the next main season by determining who will be added to the Season 35 cast as a professional. Viewers will be able to watch the show live online, according to one outlet, while another outlet also provides guidance on the premiere timing and streaming details. Together, the coverage frames the spinoff as a competition-style format focused specifically on earning a spot in the upcoming pro lineup, rather than just showcasing guest performances. Both sources agree on the central premise and the host, while differing in emphasis on practical viewing information such as when it starts and where it streams.
