Dancing With the Stars season 34 still won't be here until fall 2025 on ABC, though that doesn't mean the network can't drop teases to get us fans excited about the next spin around the dance floor. If you follow DWTS on social media, then you've probably seen an intriguing video with hosts Alfonso Ribiero and Julianne Hough.
In the video, which we shared below, the duo teases that there's "big news coming tomorrow," asking if we're ready. Um, of course we are! From now until then, July 1, 2025, we're speculating on what this news can be. I love how some of the pro dancers are being cheeky as well, with Alan Bersten wondering what the big news is, and Ezra Sosa hoping it's about casting a reality star from Love Island.

While we of course don't know what the news is either, it does seem like it's very possible the big announcement is casting news regarding a reality star. Not from Love Island though. Think, Hulu's The Secret Lives of Mormon Lives actually. Fans are starting to speculate, and honestly they've got some good and solid facts.
On TikTok, host and reporter Kristyn Burtt points out that tomorrow is The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' reunion episode, which makes the timing of the DWTS update seem like it may not actually be a coincidence. Especially since both ABC and Hulu are owned by parent company, Disney. So that cross-promotion would be easy enough to do.
So who could it be? Well, she believes that if this speculation is correct, it could be Whitney Leavitt. The reality star has been placing dancing and mirrorball emojis on her social media posts, and even dancing. So, she's pretty much the logical choice here. Is it possible Bersten will be her pro partner?
, I can definitely get behind this and agree with Burtt. It makes the most sense. Again, we're not sure what the announcement for Dancing With the Stars season 34 is going to be. It may not have anything to do with the cast. Though we really hope it does since we only know of two so far - Robert Irwin and Alix Earle.
The ABC dancing competition series usually announces its full cast, including the pro dancers, for a new season a few weeks before that new installment is set to premiere. The exciting update happens on Good Morning America. Though before that, the network will share some big stars who are on board and ready to put their dancing shoes. I can't wait to find out everyone who's participating this year and who might have the chance to be crowned the winner!
Dancing With the Stars season 34 premieres in fall 2025 on ABC.
