Dancing with the Stars just announced another competitor for Season 35. So far, fans know three contestants who will be waltzing in the ballroom. One of those DWTS contestants is a Savannah Bananas second baseman and an influencer. So far, casting has been on point for the upcoming season.
Jackson Olson joins the Dancing with the Stars Season 35 cast
During Disney’s presentation to advertisers, Jackson Olson was named as the third contestant for Season 35. The good news was also shared via Instagram.
It seems that Jackson already has some fans among the DWTS cast. “So awesome! Let’s go @jacksonolson_ welcome to the Dwts fam!” pro Britt Stewart wrote. Jackson also commented on the post, writing, “Here we go!” with a disco ball and dancing person emoji. And DWTS pro Emma Slater posted, “LETS GOOO!! Big fan over here @jacksonolson_.”
Jackson will join Summer House star Ciara Miller and The Traitors Season 4 runner-up, Maura Higgins, in the ballroom. While Ciara is preparing for her DWTS stint, she also has a dream partner for the series. “I’ve been campaigning for Val [Chmerkosvkiy],” Ciara previously said. “I don’t know if they [producers] hear me, but yeah, sending out some emails, putting my word in.” Val is a popular choice with his proven Mirrorball track record.
As for Maura? DWTS pro Mark Ballas, who appeared on Season 4 of The Traitors with the Love Island alum, feels that she has an advantage. “Maura is just a laugh, and she’s up for it,” Mark stated. “So I think she’s going to do really well.”
In addition, in 2025, DWTS judge Derek Hough and troupe member Hailey Bills joined the Savannah Bananas for a dance routine. The team blends baseball, comedy, and dance numbers to entertain the crowd. So, Jackson will see some familiar faces in the ballroom.
Dancing with the Stars is streaming on Hulu and Disney+.
