Dancing with the Stars Season 34 Returns with Double Elimination Drama
“Dancing with the Stars” is back and it’s not just any season—it’s the 34th season, and at the same time the show is marking its 20th anniversary. That’s two big milestones in one, which makes this year’s competition feel even more special. The premiere took place on Tuesday, September 16, and it set the stage with fourteen new celebrity contestants paired with their professional dance partners. Each duo performed to their own “personal anthem,” which added a meaningful touch to the opening night.
One of the highlights from the premiere was Robert Irwin, son of the late Steve Irwin, tying for the top score with Whitney Leavitt, who is known from Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Both walked away with 15 points out of 20, the highest marks of the evening. On the opposite side, Andy Richter and Corey Feldman found themselves at the bottom of the leaderboard, with just 9 points each. Scores were spread out across the board, leaving fans curious to see who will rise and who may fall as the weeks go on.

What made the first week unusual was that nobody went home. The hosts, Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro, confirmed at the end of the premiere that eliminations would be skipped for opening night. But they didn’t leave the audience without a twist—this week, the second episode, will bring not just one but two eliminations. That means the pressure is on for every single contestant to bring their best moves to the dance floor.
Fans tuning in tonight can catch the live broadcast on ABC and Disney+ starting at 8 p.m. Eastern Time. For those who can’t make the live show, episodes will also be available to stream the next day on Hulu. Voting is a huge part of the competition, and viewers in the U.S., its territories, and Canada can participate online during the live simulcast. Text voting is also an option, though that feature is not available in Canada.
Among the cast this year are two Floridians, as well as other familiar faces like Hilaria Baldwin, Lauren Jauregui of Fifth Harmony, Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles, and Dylan Efron, brother of actor Zac Efron. The variety in the cast is one of the show’s hallmarks, bringing together singers, actors, athletes, influencers, and comedians, all competing in a setting far outside their comfort zones.
With a double elimination on the line tonight, the stakes are already high, and the journey of Season 34 is only just beginning. Whether you’re rooting for a celebrity favorite, excited to see new dance routines, or just tuning in for the glitz and glamour, “Dancing with the Stars” promises to keep the energy alive week after week. Tonight’s show is expected to be a big one—you might want to grab some popcorn and settle in, because the drama of the dance floor is about to unfold.
