Dancing With the Stars is set to return with its milestone 35th season on ABC, following a record-breaking previous instalment. Producers are pulling out all the stops, from social media buzz to a star-studded lineup. So far, four celebrities have been announced, each bringing headline-making appeal or a loyal fanbase. Mirroring last season’s winning formula, the cast spans different platforms and audiences. Two are reality TV breakout stars, one is a niche influencer with a devoted following, and the fourth is a longtime ABC favorite known for delivering laughs nightly. Now, he’s swapping comedy for choreography in hopes of winning over fans on the dance floor.

Ciara Miller

If you haven't heard about Ciara Miller, you are definitely living under a rock. The 'Summer House' alum has been dominating headlines since her friend Amanda Batula and ex-boyfriend Wilson West announced their relationship. The state of affairs, now known as 'Scamanda,' has become the talk of the town. Public opinion is clearly on the model and registered nurse's side. She has become the new 'It' girl, booking one lucrative job after another. Currently, she is working as a host for the massively popular 'Love Island' aftershow called 'Aftersun.' Thereafter, she will head to the ballroom to compete in the upcoming season of Dancing With the Stars. The reality star is looking forward to the experience and is already putting in hours at the gym. "I feel determined to put up a good fight in the competition," the model noted to E! News, "so I'm definitely training myself. I gotta go to the gym and do the Stairmaster." She also has a playlist ready, which she is keeping under wraps for now. "I don't even know if I want to give people a preview; just remember I'm a '90s baby, and that's all the hints I'm gonna give you," she shared.

Maura Higgins will also strut into the ballroom this season. Higgins is reality show royalty, having participated in 'Love Island UK,'  'Dancing on Ice,' 'Cooking with the Stars, ' 'I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!' and 'The Traitors US.' She has also been on the other side of things, having worked as a presenter on 'Love Island USA,' 'Love Island Games,' 'Love Island USA: Aftersun' and 'Love Island Games: Aftersun.' Her season of 'The Traitors US' came out early this year and broke all previous records. From a faithful, now she is going to be a hopeful in DWTS, with significant experience under her belt. During her time on 'Dancing on Ice,' she wowed the judges and public alike, and reached the Top 6. But ballroom is a completely different ballgame. The reality star confessed to being a little nervous about the gig. "Every time I talk about it, I can feel it in my belly," she explained to E! News. "I'm like, 'Oh god!' It's probably because it's out of my comfort zone. I've never danced. I've got no experience, but I'm going to give it my all." The reality star also shared the name of the pro she doesn't want to be partnered with. "I'd be happy with anyone except Gleb," she said. "That's only because I'm loyal and I'm friends with Brooks [Nader]." Brooks and Gleb got into a showmance when the former participated in DWTS Season 33.

Jackson Olson

Jackson Olson, one of the biggest baseball stars in the country right now, will also compete for the Len Goodman Trophy. Along with his pursuits on the field, he also works as an active influencer. The 'Banana Ball' star has a dedicated fanbase that will surely back him throughout the competition. Olson will be following David Ross as the second baseball player to compete in the main DWTS series. Ross placed second in season 24, on the back of his huge fanbase. Olson might go one step ahead of his predecessor. Last year, Olson uploaded some TikTok videos pranking his coach about joining DWTS, and now that joke has become a reality. "When I was a kid, I never thought any of this was possible," Olson said on GMA. "I was a shy kid that never danced, never put myself out there, never entertained, and found a passion for it ... I kind of manifested this whole thing."

Guillermo Rodriguez

Guillermo Rodriguez, known as a staple of 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' for many years, will now be gracing another ABC show, 'Dancing with the Stars.' His journey in the talk show has been unique to say the least. Initially, he started as a parking lot security guard, but his camaraderie with the host got him a seat on the couch, and he became Kimmel's official 'sidekick.'  For the last 23 years, he has entertained audiences with a variety of bits. He now hosts a recurring segment called 'Guillermo's Hollywood Roundup,' where he interacts with celebrities one-on-one.  His casting announcement was made on the talk show itself by Jimmy Kimmel. The host welcomed his sidekick on stage in a stunning blue ensemble, showing off his adorable moves. Kimmel warns him not to lose one "adorable pound." Rodriguez promises to gain back 10 pounds if he loses five pounds.
