The news was shared by Kristyn Burtt. According to Heavy, she’s an entertainment reporter who frequently has insider info about dancing shows. (For example, she recently shared which DWTS pros would be choreographers on So You Think You Can Dance.)
According to Burtt, Season 31 of Dancing with the Stars will premiere on Disney+ on Monday, September 19. If you’re a talent show fan, you might have realized that this is exactly the same day The Voice Season 22 is set to premiere.
This date has yet to be confirmed by Disney+, and we don’t yet have a premiere time. However, judge Carrie Ann Inaba recently speculated that the show would air live across the country this season, finally allowing fans on the west coast to vote for their favorites while watching.
