18 Jun
Summary
- Guillermo Rodriguez will compete on Dancing with the Stars.
- Several professional dancers have expressed strong interest in partnering with him.
- The show's new season will air on ABC and stream on Disney+.
The upcoming season of Dancing with the Stars, scheduled for its 2026 TV schedule, will feature Guillermo Rodriguez, known for his work on Jimmy Kimmel Live. His casting has created a buzz among the show's professional partners, several of whom have publicly expressed their eagerness to be paired with him. This anticipation was evident in the comments section of the show's Instagram announcement.
Pro dancers like Pasha Pashkov and Ezra Sosa have playfully called dibs on partnering with Rodriguez. While same-sex partnerships have occurred on the show previously, such as Jojo Siwa and Jenna Johnson in Season 30, the possibility of a male star paired with a male pro is still considered less common.
Emma Slater, who previously had a memorable partnership with Andy Richter in Season 34, is also seen as a strong contender to dance with Guillermo. Their comedic pairing with Richter went viral weekly, charming audiences despite not topping the leaderboards.
Other cast members announced include Maura Higgins, Ciara Miller from Summer House, and Jackson Olson of the Savannah Bananas. The excitement extends to other pros like Daniella Karagach and Brandon Armstrong, and co-host Julianne Hough, all of whom shared their enthusiasm for Guillermo joining the show.
Fans can look forward to seeing Guillermo's performance on Dancing with the Stars this fall. The show will be broadcast on ABC and will also be available for streaming on Disney+.
