Dancing with the Stars (DWTS) is a long-running American television dance competition where celebrities are paired with professional dancers. The show is currently airing its landmark 34th season, which premiered in September 2025 and is being broadcast live on both ABC and Disney+.
This season is particularly notable as it celebrates the twentieth anniversary of the series. It has also been highlighted for its hosting team, with Alfonso Ribeiro returning as host and former professional Julianne Hough joining as co-host. The season's early renewal for the network's 2025–26 schedule further underscores its continued popularity and stability as a flagship unscripted program.
Recently, the show has been in the news following its latest episode, "Rock & Roll Night." Media coverage has focused on the emotional reactions of contestants to the judges' scores, with headlines noting one celebrity's visible disappointment during the broadcast. This has drawn public attention to the competitive pressure and personal journeys of the participants in the current season.
