Summary
Season 35 will open with back-to-back episodes on Sept. 15 and 16, with ABC confirming the premiere schedule a day before unveiling the full celebrity cast.
Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough are returning as hosts, while Derek Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli will again make up the judges' panel.
Derek Hough told Good Morning America the season will keep the show's familiar format but arrive with new momentum and an "incredible" cast.
Four celebrities have been announced so far—Ciara Miller, Maura Higgins, Jackson Olson and Guillermo Rodriguez—with Rodriguez already paired with reigning champion pro Witney Carson.
The new season airs at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and Disney+, then streams the next day on Hulu, as the franchise leans on a largely unchanged on-air team.
