The 34th season of ‘Dancing with the Stars’ promises intense competition and plenty of entertainment, as a dynamic spectrum of celebrity contestants step into the spotlight for the coveted Mirrorball Trophy. The cast was revealed on Good Morning America, featuring stars from diverse backgrounds including reality television, sports, music, social media, and acting. Among this year’s participants are Olympic gold medalist Jordan Chiles, NBA All-Star Baron Davis, Pentatonix vocalist Scott Hoying, and actress Elaine Hendrix known for “The Parent Trap”. Rounding out the group are author and influencer Hilaria Baldwin, comedian Andy Richter, actor Corey Feldman and Robert Irwin, Australian wildlife conservationist and son of Steve Irwin.

The show continues its tradition of pairing each celebrity with a professional dancer, many returning from previous seasons and some new to the show. Alix Earle—celebrated TikTok star and host of the Hot Mess podcast—is paired with veteran pro Val Chmerkovskiy, while Whitney Leavitt and Jen Affleck from 'Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' dance with Mark Ballas and newcomer Jan Ravnik, respectively. Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles performs with Ezra Sosa, Lauren Jauregui from Fifth Harmony partners Brandon Armstrong, and Boy Meets World’s Danielle Fishel teams up with Pasha Pashkov. Additional pairs include Baron Davis with Britt Stewart, Scott Hoying with Rylee Arnold, and Elaine Hendrix with Alan Bersten.

The star-studded cast also brings their unique personalities and backgrounds to the ballroom floor, influencing their dance journeys. Dylan Efron, known from “The Traitors” and brother of Zac Efron, is partnered with Daniella Karagach, adding athletic energy to the lineup. Comedian Andy Richter aims to bring humor to his routines alongside Emma Slater, while Corey Feldman—iconic for his roles in ‘The Goonies’—is set to dance with Jenna Johnson. Other notable celebrities making their ballroom debut include wildlife advocate Robert Irwin with Witney Carson, and Hilaria Baldwin with Gleb Savchenko.
