DWTS Spinoff to Determine Pro Dancer's Fate
29 May
Summary
- A new DWTS spinoff will debut in summer 2026.
- The competition guarantees a pro spot on Season 35.
- Jan Ravnik's future as a pro dancer is uncertain.
ABC is set to introduce a new Dancing With The Stars spinoff, DWTS: The Next Pro, premiering in summer 2026. This competition is designed to crown a new professional dancer for the series. However, the outcome of this spinoff raises questions about the future of at least one existing pro dancer.
Specifically, Jan Ravnik, who joined the show last season after touring with Taylor Swift, may face an uncertain future. The grand prize for DWTS: The Next Pro is a guaranteed spot on Season 35. Ravnik's performance last season, where he and partner Jen Affleck were eliminated in Week 7, and past criticism about his ballroom training, have fueled speculation about his return.
Despite facing criticism, Ravnik remained involved with the show, hosting TikTok livestreams. While his future as a pro dancer is unclear, he might continue his role on social media platforms. Ultimately, the exact lineup for Season 35 will depend on the results of the upcoming spinoff and other potential professional departures.
