Dancing With the Stars has gathered a new lineup of celebrity guests who will be shimmying and shaking their way onto season 35. The full cast was unveiled on Good Morning America on Wednesday. Scheduled for a live two-night premiere September 15, the new season of the hit ABC dance competition series will welcome back Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli to the judging panel, alongside returning co-hosts Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough.
The long-running show, considered the American equivalent of Britain’s Strictly Come Dancing, features celebrities paired with professional dancers who train them to compete in ballroom dancing. A few early names were revealed earlier in the year, including Jimmy Kimmel’s longtime sidekick, Guillermo Rodriguez.
