"Dancing with the Stars" has confirmed its lineup of judges and hosts for Season 35.
Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough will be returning to the ballroom as hosts of the longtime ABC series, while Derek Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli are slated to resume their seats at the judges' panel.
The announcement came during a Sept. 1 segment on "Good Morning America," just one day before the full cast of stars and their pro partners are set to be revealed.
"You can expect what you know and love about 'Dancing with the Stars' but also an energized show. We have so much momentum. The cast is incredible," Derek Hough said during the "GMA" segment. "It's gonna be an incredible season. I truly cannot wait."
"DWTS" Season 35 premieres with back-to-back
episodes Tuesday, Sept. 15 and Wednesday, Sept. 16.
Ribeiro, who took home the Mirrorball with pro Witney Carson back in Season 19, has served as host alongside Julianne Hough since Season 32. The "Safe Haven" actress was a pro in the early seasons and won two consecutive championships in Seasons 4 and 5 before stepping away. She later appeared a judge during Seasons 19 through 24, with the exception of Season 22, and then became the "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" alum's cohost in 2023.
Her brother and former pro, Derek Hough, also competed as a pro for nearly 10 years, winning the Mirrorball Trophy six times, before transitioning to becoming a judge in 2020. He joined Inaba and Tonioli, who have been judges on the show since its debut.
So far, four celebrities – and only one pairing – have been announced for the upcoming season: "Summer House" star Ciara Miller, "Love Island" favorite Maura Higgins, Savannah Bananas player Jackson Olson and "Jimmy Kimmel Live" staple Guillermo Rodriguez.
Rodriguez will be competing alongside Carson, who is the show's reigning champion after winning Season 34 with Robert Irwin. They are an unofficial trio, as Carson recently revealed she is pregnant with her third child.
Sharna Burgess is also returning as a pro following a five-year break from the series, which came the year after she won her first Mirrorball in Season 27 while partnered with Bobby Bones.
"Dancing with the Stars" Season 35 premieres Tuesday, Sept. 15 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and Disney+, and will be available to stream the next day on Hulu.
