Don’t miss the big moment, West Coast crew!

Set those DVRs or stream it later if you’re not a morning person. The buzz is already building, and we can’t wait to see who’ll be twirling across the dance floor this fall. It’s the kind of news that’ll have everyone from Hollywood Hills to Huntington Beach talking.
Pro tip: Follow along on social media for real-time reactions - you know the DWTS fandom doesn’t play when it comes to spilling the deets. Let’s see which celebs are ready to shine brighter than the Walk of Fame stars!
So far, we’ve got a few names confirmed for the DWTS Season 34 lineup, and it’s already looking like a diverse crew straight out of a Hollywood casting call. Leading the pack is Robert Irwin, the 21-year-old wildlife conservationist and son of the legendary Steve Irwin. Spotted outside the DWTS studios in LA on Aug. 29, Robert’s following in the footsteps of his sister Bindi, who snagged the Mirrorball Trophy back in Season 21 with Derek Hough.
Also joining the dance party are Alix Earle, the influencer and host of the Hot Mess podcast, plus Whitney Leavitt and Jen Affleck from Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. On the pro dancer side, ABC dropped the news of Jan Ravnik, a former backup dancer for Taylor Swift’s epic Eras Tour, stepping into the ballroom. That’s some serious star power already!
Derek Hough couldn’t hold back his excitement about Robert Irwin, reminiscing about seeing him as a kid cheering for Bindi. It’s been a decade, and now Robert’s all grown up and ready to make his mark. We’re expecting some serious Cali vibes with this cast - let’s see if they bring that beachy energy to the dance floor.
The rumor mill is spinning faster than a convertible down Sunset Boulevard, and we’ve got some juicy names floating around for DWTS Season 34. Dylan Efron, brother of High School Musical heartthrob Zac Efron and a star from The Traitors Season 3, might be lacing up his dance shoes. Just Jared caught pics of a masked figure resembling him leaving the DWTS studio, and you know paparazzi don’t miss a beat in this town.
Another hot tip? Scott Hoying from the a cappella group Pentatonix was allegedly spotted near the practice space, also rocking a disguise. Plus, People dropped a bombshell on Aug. 26 that Hilaria Baldwin, mom of seven and wife of Alec Baldwin, could be joining the cast. She’s been posting dance clips with Alec on social media, even name-dropping DWTS in a caption - talk about a Malibu-style hint!
With the full reveal just around the corner, the anticipation is thicker than LA traffic on a Friday. Stay tuned for the official word, and let’s see if these rumored names bring the heat to the ballroom. Whoever shows up, you know it’s gonna be a season full of drama, dazzle, and straight-up SoCal swagger.
Before we dive into Season 34, let’s throw it back to last season’s champs for some inspo. Former Bachelor star Joey Graziadei and pro dancer Jenna Johnson took home the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy in Season 33, owning the finale with killer moves. Olympian Ilona Maher and Alan Bersten snagged second place, while actress Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong rounded out the top three.
That kind of competition sets the bar high for the new season, and we’re ready for another round of jaw-dropping performances. With DWTS continuing to dominate after 20 years, it’s clear this show’s got the staying power of a Hollywood legend. The question is, who’s got what it takes to shine under those ballroom lights?
Whether you’re watching from a rooftop bar in DTLA or chilling in the OC, let’s get hyped for Season 34. Keep your eyes peeled for more updates after the GMA reveal, and get ready for a fall filled with dance fever, LA style. See you on the dance floor - or at least on your couch with some popcorn!
