Updated September 23, 2026: Season 35 has already produced three eliminations, but the remaining Dancing With the Stars cast still includes several names attracting major search interest. Tatyana Ali, Ezra Frech, Tyler Cameron, Jenna Dewan, Harry Shum Jr., Taylor Hanson and Maura Higgins are among the celebrities viewers are following most closely.
Tatyana Ali and Jan Ravnik
Tatyana Ali entered Season 35 with a long television and music career. She is paired with Jan Ravnik. In Week 2, the pair performed a foxtrot to Billie Eilish's “What Was I Made For?” and received 18/30.
Ezra Frech and Daniella Karagach
Paralympic gold medalist Ezra Frech is partnered with Daniella Karagach. Their Week 2 cha-cha to Flo Rida's “Low” earned 21/30, putting the pair among the night's highest-scoring couples.
Tyler Cameron and Sharna Burgess
Tyler Cameron returned for Week 2 with longtime professional Sharna Burgess, performing a salsa to The Kid LAROI's “Girls.” The couple received 16/30.
Jenna Dewan and Val Chmerkovskiy
Jenna Dewan and Val Chmerkovskiy performed a jive to KATSEYE's “Animal” and received 21/30. Dewan entered the season with a substantial dance background, making her performance one of the recurring discussion points around the cast.
Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson
Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson moved from a high-scoring cha-cha in the premiere to a Viennese waltz in Week 2. They received 18/30. Their change in style is an example of how the season tests celebrities across different ballroom disciplines rather than repeating the same kind of routine.
Taylor Hanson and Britt Stewart
Taylor Hanson and Britt Stewart performed a cha-cha to DNCE's “Cake by the Ocean” and scored 15/30. Hanson's established music audience also makes him a natural search and social-media topic as the season develops.
Maura Higgins and Mark Ballas
Maura Higgins and Mark Ballas followed their strong premiere with a cha-cha to “September” by Earth, Wind & Fire, earning 19/30 in Week 2.
The bigger Season 35 picture
The remaining field now mixes actors, musicians, athletes, reality personalities and social creators. That diversity gives the season several independent search entry points rather than one single celebrity story.
