It’s expected to air this summer on ABC and Hulu, and the latest winner Robert Irwin is in talks to host.
Dancing With the Stars three time winner Mark Ballas is “being eyed” to judge, as is his professional ballroom dancer mother, Shirley Ballas, who has judged BBC One’s Strictly Come Dancing since 2017. There would also be a “rotating mentor or pro” weekly.
