Dancing With the Stars first debuted in June 2005 on ABC and soon became one of its most popular shows, though ratings have dropped in recent years. While it may not be the powerhouse it used to be, DWTS still has allure for Disney Plus, which is seeking to expand its subscriber base with different offerings. Also, the Marvel and Star Wars franchises tend to attract a younger, more male audience, while Dancing With the Stars' viewers are mostly women and older people. Dancing With the Stars season 31 features the usual mix of actors, singers and athletes. The celebrity cast includes movie star Selma Blair, comedian/actor Wayne Brady, former American Idol winner Jordin Sparks and drag queen Shangela. Tyra Banks returns to host, alongside new co-host Alfonso Ribeiro. The judges panel will include Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough. The biggest changes for this season are that viewers will be able to vote live across the country for the first time and that the Disney Plus broadcast won't have ads.
