“Dancing with the Stars” is back for 31st season — with a twist. The long-running series moved to Disney+ from ABC for Season 31. Here’s everything to know about the current installment and what you can expect.
Is “Dancing with the Stars” returning for Season 31?
Yes, and also Season 32. The show was renewed for a 31st and 32nd season on April 8, so you won’t have to wonder about its status once Season 31 wraps up.
Where is “Dancing with the Stars” airing?
After 16 years and 30 seasons on ABC, “Dancing” moved exclusively to Disney+ starting with Season 31. The news was announced in conjunction with the show’s two-season renewal. “Dancing” is the first live series to stream on Disney+. It premiered on Monday, Sept. 19.
When does “Dancing with the Stars” Season 31 air?
For the first time in the series’ history, “Dancing” will air live across the country on Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/ 5 p.m. PT this season. Season 31 will also air commercial-free. Week 5 will have two episodes on Monday, Oct. 17 and Tuesday, Oct. 18 at the same time.

Who is in the “Dancing with the Stars” Season 31 cast?
Here are the celebrity-pro pairings:
– Fitness model and actor Joseph Baena with partner Daniella Karagach
– Movie star Selma Blair with partner Sasha Farber
– Comedian, actor and singer Wayne Brady with partner Witney Carson
– “Good Morning America” contributor and WABC-TV New York’s weather anchor Sam Champion with partner Cheryl Burke
– TikTok star Charli D’Amelio with partner Mark Ballas
– Heidi D’Amelio (“The D’Amelio Show”) with partner Artem Chigvintsev
– Country star Jessie James Decker with partner Alan Bersten
– TV star Trevor Donovan with partner Emma Slater
– Daniel Durant (“CODA”) with partner Britt Stewart
– Teresa Giudice (“The Real Housewives of New Jersey”) with partner Pasha Pashkov
– Vinny Guadagnino (“Jersey Shore”) with partner Koko Iwasaki
– “Charlie’s Angels” star Cheryl Ladd with partner Louis Van Amstel
– Jason Lewis (“Sex and the City”) with partner Peta Murgatroyd
– Drag queen superstar Shangela with partner Gleb Savchenko
– Platinum recording artist Jordin Sparks with partner Brandon Armstrong
– Gabby Windey (“The Bachelorette”) with partner Val Chmerkovskiy
Two-time champ Ballas and Van Amstel are back for the first time since Seasons 25 and 21, respectively.
Murgatroyd also returned after sitting out last season, while Iwasaki, a “So You Think You Can Dance” alum and “DWTS” tour performer, is a new pro.
Former champs Sharna Burgess, Lindsay Arnold and Jenna Johnson are not participating due to family priorities. Burgess, who had her first child, Zane, with boyfriend and Season 30 partner Brian Austin Green on June 28, said in a series of Instagram Stories on Aug. 31 that while she’s ready to dance, she was “not ready to spend a minimum of 10 hours a day away from Zane.” Arnold, who has a nearly 2-year-old daughter and lives in Utah, announced on the same day on Instagram that she will also sit out the season. “This has been one of the hardest decisions to make but ultimately I have chosen what I feel is best for myself and my family,” she wrote. “Logistically there is SO much involved with making this happen and there is a lot of sacrifice that has to be made that unfortunately just did not feel right for us this time around.
” Johnson is expecting her first child with hubby Chmerkovskiy in January.
Is Tyra Banks hosting Season 31?
Yes, and she has a co-host this time: Season 19 champ Alfonso Ribeiro (the two go way back to “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”). Banks’ performance has been polarizing — former host Brooke Burke thinks the supermodel is ill-fitted for the show — so the addition of a beloved former winner with hosting bona fides (Ribeiro replaced Tom Bergeron on “America’s Funniest Home Videos” in 2015) is not surprising.

Are all four judges back for Season 31?
Yes, Len Goodman, Derek Hough, Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba all returned, marking the second season with this combo behind the judges’ table. After missing Season 29 due to COVID-19 travel restrictions and being replaced by Hough, Goodman returned in Season 30 to make it a four-person panel, which wreaked havoc on the judges’ vote and forced the introduction of a tiebreaker rule that the show and Banks kept failing to properly explain.
What changes will there be in Season 31?
There is a new executive producer, who’s actually an old face: Conrad Green, the original executive producer and showrunner who left after Season 18, returned. He replaced Andrew Llinares, the executive producer since the “Athletes” season in 2018, who departed “Dancing” in March. Llinares is most famous (infamous?) for the controversial decision to fire co-hosts Bergeron and Erin Andrews for Banks in 2020 in an attempt to freshen up the show. Bergeron reacted to Llinares’ exit appropriately and calls Green’s impending return the “best decision they’ve made since 2005, when they hired him the first time.”
What themes will there be in Season 31?
Season 31 has already featured Elvis Night, Bond Night and Disney+ Night, a twist on the usual Disney Night. Week 5 was a two-night with two themes: the requisite Most Memorable Year Night and Prom Night.
The Oct. 24 episode will be Michael Bublé Night, during which Hough will perform with his fiancée Hayley Erbert to the singer’s tune “Higher,” the music video for which Hough directed. Bublé will also serve as a guest judge that episode.
How does voting work?
Fans in the U.S. and Canada can vote during the broadcast via disneyplus.com/vote and U.S. fans can also vote via text. The live votes will be combined with the judges’ scores every week to determine the bottom two, after which the judges will save one couple.

Why 'Dancing With the Stars' Season 31 Moved to Disney+
In all honesty, I forgot just how much I loved watching Dancing With the Stars until season 30 sucked me in.
With studio audiences coming back, JoJo Siwa and her partner Jenna Johnson being the first same-sex pair to ever compete on the show, Olivia Jade’s controversial casting, and Iman Schumpert’s historic win—it was quite a spectacular season. IDK about you, but I am officially back on the DWTS train!
Now it’s 2022. And another year means another Mirrorball Trophy up for grabs! ABC confirmed that Dancing With the Stars is returning for another round with season 31. The twist? It is no longer on ABC and will instead stream on Disney+.
“Dancing with the Stars has entertained fans for 16 years on ABC, and we are excited to bring this beloved show exclusively to Disney+ as the platform’s first-ever live series,” Kareem Daniel, chairman of Disney Media and Entertainment Distribution, said in a statement. “The show’s broad appeal, as well as the overwhelming popularity of its Disney-themed competition nights, make Disney+ the perfect home for Dancing With the Stars while continuing to expand our demographic reach.
”
Dana Walden, Chairman of Entertainment at Walt Disney Television, added: “Dancing With the Stars has been a beloved staple on ABC for 30 seasons and brought so much joy to millions of viewers. As we’re significantly expanding our unscripted slate at ABC, this is a great opportunity to introduce this show to a whole new generation of fans on Disney+. We’re so grateful to our incredible partners at BBC Studios and look forward to continuing our relationship with them on this spectacular series, which will continue to be overseen by Rob Mills and the talented Walt Disney Television Alternative team.”
Dancing With the Stars is among ABC’s top-rated programs and is one of the longest-running unscripted shows across all broadcast network television, so the move is pretty shocking. It sounds like it all comes down to conflicting TV deals and not enough primetime space, though. Monday Night Football is getting DWTS’s old slot, according to Deadline, so clearly ABC inked some sort of deal with the NFL that doesn’t leave room for the dancers.
If you’re still just as excited to watch on Disney+ though, don’t worry, we got all the info about next season. Here’s everything you need to know about Dancing With the Stars season 31.

Who will be hosting?

Alfonso won the show’s 19th season, so he’s certainly no stranger to the competition.
Plus, he has a history of hosting storied programs: Since 2015, he’s been the host of America’s Funniest Home Videos. Can’t wait to see this duo in action!

Dancing with the Stars 2022 is a continuation of the popular entertainment TV show on the Rossiya channel.
About the show
In 2004, the show called Strictly Come Dancing premiered in the UK, in 2005 it was adapted by America (there it was called Dancing with the Stars ), and in 2006 the Russian version was released.
Despite a four-year break, which the TV show went on in 2016 after ten seasons, she returned to television screens.
The peculiarity of the project is that couples take part in the competition, each of which consists of a professional dancer and a person who is not so good in this area. Well-known Russian singers, actors and TV presenters became partners of experts in dancing: Yulia Savicheva, Natalia Ionova, Boris Smolkin, Ksenia Borodina, Christina Asmus, Angelina Vovk, Alena Vodonaeva and others. Competitors are evaluated by jury members and viewers.
People's Artist of the Russian Federation Nikolai Tsiskaridze, TV presenter Daria Zlatopolskaya, choreographers Vladimir Varnava and Yegor Druzhinin became members of the jury in the show "Dancing with the Stars" in 2022.
As in the previous season, Andrey Malakhov acted as the host of the popular dance project.
Participants
The names of ten star participants of the next season were announced by the project organizers at the end of 2021.
Together with professional partners, the star of “Midshipmen, go ahead!” Dmitry Kharatyan, actresses Maria Mironova, Alexandra Rebenok, Marina Zudina, Olga Medynich and Alexandra Revenko, actors Valery Nikolaev and Anatoly Bely, singer and blogger Vanya Dmitrienko and stand-up comedian Vladimir Markoni.
Mikhail Shchepkin will dance with Alexandra Child. Previously, he performed in a project with Ekaterina Volkova (in 2015), Alisa Grebenshchikova (in 2016) and Katerina Spitz (in 2021). Alexandra Revenko's partner in the show was Denis Tagintsev, who had previously been a participant in the project twice: in 2015 he fought for victory with Ksenia Alferova, and in 2016 with Alexandra Ursulyak.
Anatoly Bely's partner is Inna Svechnikova, who a year ago danced with the star of "Londongrad" and "Optimists" Yevgeny Morozov. Valery Nikolaev paired up with Alexandra Akimova, Vanya Dmitrienko with Lyubina Kuznetsova, and Vladimir Marconi with Evgenia Tolstaya, who danced with rapper Alexander ST Stepanov last year.
Dmitry Kharatyan's partner is Ulyana Maksimkina, who in 2021 took third place with the actor of the Lenkom Theater Anton Shagin. And with Marina Zudina, an experienced dancer and husband of Agnia Kuznetsova Maxim Petrov came out on the floor. Even before the show went on the air, fans of the project expected big surprises from the incendiary couple Maria Mironova and Evgeny Papunaishvili.
