This year also marks the dance competition show’s 20th anniversary.
“There was no Twitter, there was [barely any] social media,” showrunner Conrad Green told TV Insider, reflecting on DWTS’ beginning in 2005. “The celebrity landscape has changed enormously [since DANCING premiered]. Even television has changed, but the core concepts of what makes a good contestant and what makes someone relatable are the same now as they were 20 years ago.”
Former pro dancer Derek Hough, who will serve as a judge this season alongside Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli, added that even 20 years later, the show is still “thriving.”
“We are thriving in 2025 as the premier dance entertainment family show, what’s more to say?” Hough said.
“When you walk into the ballroom, it is really sacred ground,” he continued. “The stories that have unfolded, the triumphs, the failures, the heartbreaks. There’s so much that has happened in that room, and every time I walk in there, every season, it’s a brand-new feeling.”
Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough will serve as this season’s show hosts.
“As a host, my job is to [make sure] everyone else feels like they have the space to shine and connect with the audience,” Julianne said of her duties.
“[Julianne and I] have a second language where we don’t even need to say things. We recognize the comedic moment and don’t feel the need to rush,” Ribeiro said of his partner.
Season 34 of DANCING WITH THE STARS will air live on Sept. 16 and then stream on Hulu the next day.
