Dancing With the Stars has found its next celebrity contestant.
ABC revealed on Thursday that social media star Alix Earle will join the long-running competition show for its 34th season, which will kick off this fall.
Earle, who has amassed more than 7.5 million followers on TikTok and 4.3 million on Instagram, initially saw a rapid rise in fame on social media in 2022, before graduating from the University of Miami. Her most popular content consists of “get ready with me” (GRWM) videos, beauty tutorials and lifestyle tips, and she also hosts her Hot Mess podcast.
Last month, it was announced that conservationist and TV host Robert Irwin will also be joining season 34. He follows his older sister, Bindi Irwin, to the Dancing With the Stars stage, who previously won the competition in the show’s 21st season in 2015 with her partner Derek Hough.
The full cast of celebrities and professional dancers for the upcoming season will be announced at a later date.
Dancing With the Stars, which was also officially renewed for season 34 last month, is coming off a strong 33rd installment of the competition series, which saw former Bachelor star Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson take home the Len Goodman Mirrorball trophy in November 2024.
Last season, the show ranked first among all network entertainment series among adults 18-49 in the fall, averaging a 0.86 rating after a week of viewing (not including streaming). It also brought in 5.86 million total viewers, even with its 2023 performance, and the season finale (7.95 million viewers, 1.55 rating in adults 18-49) saw the show’s biggest audience in more than three years.
