Oh, buckle up, ballroom fans — because Season 34 of “Dancing With the Stars” just dropped its cast list, and let’s just say: this one is dripping with nostalgia, family drama, Hollywood redemption arcs, and more than a few wildcards ready to “samba” their way back into the spotlight.
At the top of the lineup? “Hilaria Baldwin”, stepping straight out of her TLC reality show “The Baldwins” and into the sequined chaos of the DWTS ballroom.
That’s right — the yoga-teaching, Spanish-accent-fluctuating mother of seven is ready to “cha cha” for the Mirrorball, and yes, husband Alec Baldwin has already been spotted on Instagram offering his support in what can only be described as some… interpretive dance of his own.
Then there’s “Corey Feldman”, the ‘80s icon who’s been through the wringer and somehow keeps coming back. Feldman is marking “50 years” in entertainment — yep, you read that right — and what better way to celebrate than by competing on live television in front of millions while wearing rhinestones? From “The Goonies” to viral musical performances and now the DWTS stage, Corey’s career is basically a Hollywood rollercoaster with no brakes.
Joining the nostalgia train is “Danielle Fishel”, better known to every ‘90s kid as Topanga from “Boy Meets World”.
These days, she’s not just an actress — she’s a director, podcast host, and founder of a haircare line. If her DWTS footwork is half as sharp as her career pivot, she’s gonna be one to watch.
Now let’s talk about “Dylan Efron” — yes, Zac’s younger brother, but don’t reduce him to just the sibling tag. Dylan’s carving out his own adventure-fueled path, from Netflix success to winning “The Traitors” and dropping environmental docs that rack up millions of views. He’s got the charisma, the athleticism, and probably a six-pack that’ll earn him votes even if he two-steps like a robot.
But wait — the cast doesn’t stop there. Add Olympic gymnast “Jordan Chiles”, former NBA star “Baron Davis”, “Parent Trap” actress “Elaine Hendrix”, Pentatonix’s “Scott Hoying”, Fifth Harmony’s “Lauren Jauregui”, and comedian “Andy Richter” to the dance floor. And let’s not forget earlier announcements like influencer “Alix Earle”, wildlife star “Robert Irwin”, and… yes, even “Jen Affleck” (that name alone is already lighting up comment sections).
This season kicks off September 16 on ABC and Disney+, with next-day streams on Hulu — and something tells us it’s going to be a “chaotic, sparkly, wonderfully bizarre ride”.
Whether you’re in it for the dance, the drama, or just to see if Hilaria can pronounce “paso doble” without breaking the internet — you’re not going to want to miss this one.
