Spoilers ahead for the Season 34 premiere of Dancing with the Stars on ABC, available streaming now with a Disney+ subscription and next day with a Hulu subscription.
Dancing with the Stars has made its long-awaited return to ABC in the 2025 TV schedule, with Season 34 releasing in the show's 20th year on the air. I've seen and heard longtime fans counting down the days until the premiere, but I for one hadn't watched a single full episode since Season 32 in 2023, and I don't even remember the last time I was glued to my couch for a full season. There are only so many hours of primetime in a day for an entertainment journalist!
