Episode Details

This season of Dancing With the Stars is heating up with a bold new twist: split eliminations on premiere nights, sending home one male and one female pairing. Mark Ballas reveals the gender-divided format feels fresh, while emphasizing that dance experience isn’t everything—past winners like Joey Graziadei and Robert Irwin prove passion and grit can triumph. Maura Higgins, stepping into the spotlight with zero prior ballroom experience (though she’s been manifesting this moment for years), brings a determined new energy. The cast blends stars like Harry Shum Jr. and Tatyana Ali with athletes Amber Glenn and Ezra Frech, promising electrifying chemistry and unexpected transformations. With the premiere looming, the pressure’s on—and the surprises are just beginning.
