Dancing with the Stars is an American dance competition television series that premiered on ABC on June 1, 2005. It is the American version of the British series Strictly Come Dancing, and one of several iterations of the Dancing with the Stars franchise. The show pairs celebrities with professional dancers. Each couple competes against the others for judges' points and audience votes. The couple receiving the lowest combined total of judges' points and audience votes is usually eliminated each week until only the champion dance pair remains. The series is hosted by Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough, with Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough, and Bruno Tonioli serving as judges.

In April 2022, it was announced that, beginning with the thirty-first season, Dancing with the Stars would move from ABC to Disney+.[4] In May 2023, it was announced that the series would stream live on both ABC and Disney+ simultaneously for the thirty-second season,[5] which aired September–December 2023. On February 10, 2024, ABC renewed the series for a thirty-third season.[6]
