The celebs are coming back to fight over the Mirrorball Trophy once again! Dancing With The Stars will return for a season 34 (yep, it’s been on the air that long) in fall 2025. A month after Robert Irwin was announced as the first celebrity cast member for Dancing With The Stars season 34, we’ve now received the second reveal: Alix Earle.
Though I can’t recall Alix ever dancing well on TikTok, the influencer was the second celeb announced as a new cast member during a May 22 Good Morning America appearance. TBH, I do think she’ll be an entertaining star… She already poked fun at her dancing in her announcement TikTok.
Read on for a breakdown of the Dancing With The Stars season 34 cast.
Dancing With The Stars Season 34 Cast
Alix Earle
On Good Morning America, Alix shared her excitement about joining the cast. “I’ve always been a fan of Dancing with the Stars,” she said. “I used to watch it when I was so young with my grandma, and she would always say to me, ‘Maybe one day you could be on there.’”
Apparently, the influencer was a competitive dancer in high school. “I was so in love with dance,” she said on the show. “I’m ready to challenge myself, I think it’s gonna be a lot of fun. So it was a very obvious answer to say yes.”
Robert Irwin
We got our first peek at the season to come when Hulu hosted a Get Real reality TV event on April 22, with Dancing With The Stars standbys Julianne Hough, Derek Hough, and more in attendance. And, the first celeb announcement of the season was also there: Robert Irwin.
That’s right, the littlest Irwin is following in his sister Bindi’s footsteps by competing on Dancing With The Stars. When Bindi joined the cast back in 2015, she did it specifically to honor their late dad, Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin. She honored him well by winning season 21, so Robert’s got some big dance shoes to fill.
“I cannot tell you what a privilege, what an honor it is to be joining this season,” Robert said at the event. He also reminisced about watching Bindi perform. “I said, ‘One day, that’s gonna be me.’ And now, that dream is a reality, and I am over the moon. Let’s do this!”
Bindi showed her support for her brother with a sweet Instagram after his casting announcement. “Robert, you are going to absolutely shine in the ballroom. I wish I could express the magnitude of how proud I am of you and everything you have achieved,” she wrote. Bindi won alongside Derek Hough, who’s now a judge on Dancing With The Stars.
Just like his dad, Robert is a conservationist and zookeeper. He starred in the Animal Planet series Crikey! It’s the Irwins with his sister and mom, and the family owns and operates the Australia Zoo.
Robert also recently revealed, ahem, a lot in a viral modeling campaign for Bonds, an Australian underwear brand. In the ads, he poses in just his underwear with a number of venomous creatures like snakes and lizards. Like I said, I think all signs point to this being a very fun season of Dancing With The Stars.
