"Dancing With the Stars" is back for another season.
The 34th iteration of the show will premiere on Tuesday, September 16, on ABC and Disney+. The producers have played with various formats of the show, and while it is Season 34, it is the 20th anniversary of when the show began, so big things are expected to keep fans entertained throughout.
Former "Bachelor" star Joey Graziadei and his professional dancer partner Jenna Johnson won Season 33. They emerged victorious in the finale over Ilona Maher, who finished in second, and Chandler Kinney placed third.
The first cast member announced for Season 34 was Robert Irwin, the son of Steve Irwin and the brother of Season 21 winner Bindi Irwin. The next confirmed contestant was influencer and social media personality Alix Earle. Ahead of the full reveal of the cast on "Good Morning America" on September 3, the other two revealed contestants were Whitney Leavitt and Jen Affleck, both from Hulu's successful "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" docuseries.
