Channel Seven has confirmed that Dancing with the Stars Australia (DWTS) will return to TV screens in 2025, bringing another round of Australia’s biggest stars ready to hit the dance floor and show off their moves.

Fans are already buzzing with excitement as the first big name has been revealed for the new season!

Who’s in the Dancing with the Stars Australia 2025 cast?

The first confirmed star to hit the dance floor in 2025 was the one and only Shaun Micallef. The beloved comedian and writer has earned five AACTA Awards, four Logies, and a Gold Logie nomination in his illustrious career. But can he dance? We’ll have to wait and see!

Harry Garside was announced in January as the second celebrity hitting the dance floor.

There’s already buzz about more stars potentially joining the lineup. Rumours floating around the media circuit suggest that Channel Seven has its eyes on TV personalities like Kate Ritchie and David “Kochie” Koch to join the competition. 

While an insider has told Yahoo Lifestyle that the upcoming season is looking to focus on Channel Seven talent, which could mean no stars from rival networks such as Masterchef Australia, I’m a Celebrity, or Australian Survivor on Network 10, or The Block on Channel Nine.

Where can you watch it?

All the Dancing With the Stars Australia action will be broadcast on Channel 7 and streamed via 7plus.

When does Dancing With The Stars 2025 air?

While Channel Seven has yet to announce an official airdate for Dancing with the Stars Australia 2025, you can probably expect the show to make its return around the same time it did this year – mid-year.

Who are the DWTS 2025 judges?

The all-star panel of Dancing With The Stars judges will return, with Craig Revel Horwood, Helen Richey, Sharna Burgess, and Mark Wilson set to grace our screens once again in 2025.

Who are the hosts?

The dynamic duo, Dr. Chris Brown and Sonia Kruger, will also return to the DWTS stage as hosts.

Who won DWTS 2024?

In case you missed it, Lisa McCune was crowned the winner of Dancing with the Stars Australia 2024 just last month. Congratulations again, Lisa!
