Dancing With the Stars Season 34: Dream Celeb Cast Predictions

The pressure is on for Dancing With the Stars to top the record-breaking success of season 33 — and Us has some ideas for how season 34 can up the ante.

Two celebrity contestants have already been revealed, with Robert Irwin and influencer Alix Earle vying for the coveted mirrorball trophy when DWTS returns to ABC this fall. The rest of the cast, however, remains a mystery — even to the pro dancers.

“Sometimes people think that we know [the cast in advance], and we don’t. We find out when everybody else finds out,” Pasha Pashkov told Us Weekly exclusively in May during a joint interview with his wife and fellow DWTS pro, Daniella Karagach, adding that he has high hopes for the season ahead. “The first two celebs are already so amazing, so I can only imagine what the season is going to look like.”

There are a few more months to go before DWTS is officially back on our screens, but that hasn’t stopped Us from putting together an ideal lineup of reality stars, athletes and more. Keep scrolling to see the dream cast:

Jason Kelce

Even some DWTS pros are on board with this fan cast. Jenna Johnson called the retired athlete her “dream partner” back in 2024, and anyone who’s seen those viral tracksuit videos can understand why.

Zac Efron

Sure, some fans are campaigning for Dylan Efron to vie for the mirrorball trophy after his success on The Traitors, but Us thinks it’s time for Zac to revisit his dancing roots. (And if Zac isn’t available, there’s always a chance his High School Musical dad, Bart Johnson, is.)

Taylor Frankie Paul

Ezra Sosa may have teamed up with The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Jen Affleck for a TikTok video earlier this year, but Taylor’s fiery side would make her a fierce competitor. Can MomTok survive the pressure of the ballroom?

Savannah Chrisley

It’s been more than a decade since Chrisley Knows Best premiered, but the family is more relevant than ever. Savannah’s efforts to help her parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley, receive a presidential pardon give her the perfect emotional backstory — and a hint of controversy — to capture voters’ attention.
