"Dancing with the Stars" Season 35 Themes Include Horror Movie Night, Disney Night, and Mariah Carey Night

Yacht Rock Night and Grammy Night are also among the full list.

With Dancing with the Stars Season 35 having kicked off last week with a two-night premiere, the full list of themes for each remaining week of the reality dance competition series have been revealed.

What's Happening:

  • The Season 35 themes were revealed on the Dancing with the Stars Official Podcast by host Andy Richter, himself a Dancing With the Stars contestant last year on Season 34 (and having a pretty good 2026, thanks to his supporting role in the huge breakout hit, Obsession).
  • Disney Night will be back on DWTS this season, with that particular night now quite frequently used on the series.
  • While many previous seasons have had Halloween Night or Horror Night as a theme, things get a bit more specific this time with a Horror Movie Night (please let there be a dance to Alice Cooper's "He's Back (The Man Behind the Mask" from Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives).
