Dancing With the Stars Unveils 17 Season 35 Contestants as 2-Night Premiere Starts Sept. 15

Q: What secret theme night did Julianne Hough tease that could completely shake up the newly revealed DWTS Season 35 cast?

Julianne Hough did not reveal the actual theme. She only teased that there is “one specific theme night” she is especially excited about, saying on Good Morning America that “the fashion is going to be really fun” for it. So, despite speculation that it could shake up the newly revealed Season 35 cast, ABC has not publicly identified the secret theme night yet. The only confirmed detail is Hough’s hint that it will stand out visually and stylistically, suggesting a fashion-heavy episode that could influence costumes, choreography and overall presentation. What is confirmed is that Dancing with the Stars returns with a two-night premiere on September 15 and 16, with the full cast and pairings unveiled September 2 on Good Morning America.
