DWTS Season 35: Derek Hough Drops BIG Hint About New Season’s Twist [Shocking Update]

After Derek Hough hinted at a big change for Season 35, fans of DWTS are already going crazy. The seasoned judge revealed new information about the upcoming spinoff, Dancing With The Stars: the Next Pro. To be honest, it already sounds like ABC is coming up with a whole new level of craziness, competition, and ballroom drama. Derek hinted that viewers will soon be able to see what actually happens behind the glitter and mirror balls. However, could this completely change the future of the show?

During Disney’s upfront event on May 12, Derek revealed the new details about the new spinoff. He explained that the show gives fans an inside peek at what it really takes to become a professional dancer on DWTS. Viewers only watch polished performances every week on DWTS. They rarely get to see the pressure, training, and intense competition that goes on behind the scenes. What was the biggest surprise? For Season 35, just one dancer is given the opportunity to officially join the professional roster. And that sounds explosive just based on Derek’s reaction.

Ciara became one of the most talked-about names among reality TV fans. At the same time, Maura Higgins, who has apparently been pushing for years, finally got a chance to compete on DTWS.

12 dancers fight for the opportunity of a lifetime on ABC’s DWTS: the Next Pro, which premieres ahead of the Season 35 debut. Mark Ballas and his mother, Shirley Ballas, take over as judges, while Robert Irwin serves as host. When praising Shirley, Derek was unable to control his excitement, calling to her as a “complete iron” in the ballroom world. He even acknowledged that Shirley personally trained him years ago, underscoring the importance of her coming for loyal fans.

Derek also indicated that some unexpected names are still kept a secret while hyping the next celebrity cast. He says that the roster is already “fantastic” and that there is ‘more to come.” That one comment instantly pushed fans into detective mode online. Now, many viewers are trying to figure out which celebs secretly signed on for the upcoming season. The rumors are growing stronger by the day because the official list of professional dancers has not yet been released.

Ciara Miller, a reality TV star, has already begun pushing for her ideal partner. She openly said in a recent interview that if she joins the competition, she wants Val Chmerkovskiy to support her. Ciara revealed that she has been “sending emails” and working hard to make it happen. Fans quickly flooded social media with reactions, especially since Val is still one of the most popular pros in DWTS history.

Season 35 already seems messier and more dramatic than before, with a brand-new competition, ballroom legends joining the judging panel, and unidentified celebrities. The big question is which dancer can endure the pressure and become the next DWTS pro. Keep coming back to TV Season & Spoilers for more updates.
