Summary

  • September 2 is the date for Dancing With the Stars' full Season 35 cast reveal on Good Morning America, ahead of the ABC premiere on September 15 and a second competition night on September 16.
  • Four contestants are already confirmed: Ciara Miller, Maura Higgins, Jackson Olson and Guillermo Rodriguez, while the rest of the celebrity lineup remains undisclosed.
  • Fans are filling that gap with online speculation around names including Clayton Grimm, James Lafferty, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Layla Taylor and the Mowry siblings.
  • One rumored option appears unlikely for now: Lisa Ann Walter said in March that Abbott Elementary's filming schedule would prevent her from competing unless the show revives a spring season.
