"Dancing with the Stars" is set to return for its 34th season, prominently featuring Robert Irwin as its first celebrity contestant. The show's popularity surge can be attributed to younger contestants and fresh pros, notably with high ratings among adults aged 18-49, increasing by 47 percent. Former contestant Alfonso Ribeiro highlights the contribution of social media and youth engagement, especially pointing out TikTok star Charli D'Amelio's impact in drawing younger audiences. The show’s dynamic cast is credited for revitalizing interest, making it more appealing to a modern audience.
"I think he would be such a great partner," Arnold exclaimed. "We're super close in age, and I just feel like he has that same passion and wants to do well, just like his sister Bindi did. So I think it would be really fun to be paired with him."
"She did the show several seasons ago and really opened the door up to an audience that wasn't really aware of the show. That was their mom's show. That was their grandma's show," Ribeiro said. "Right now, it's their show."
