Dancing with the Stars 32: Actress Mira Sorvino Reportedly Joining Cast
Reports indicate that Oscar-winning actress Mira Sorvino is expected to be among the celebrities competing on Dancing with the Stars season 32. Sources say she will take to the ballroom when the new season premieres this fall, joining a cast that has already begun to take shape.
Mira Sorvino is widely recognized for her work in film, notably for her acclaimed performance in the 1995 comedy Mighty Aphrodite, which earned her an Academy Award. She also gained mainstream popularity for her comedic role in the 1990s favorite Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion. Sorvino’s long career in film and television, combined with her public profile, would make her a compelling addition to DWTS.
So far, two contestants have been officially confirmed for season 32: Vanderpump Rules personality Ariana Madix and the most recent Bachelorette, Charity Lawson. Charity learned of her participation during the Bachelorette finale, describing the opportunity as a dream come true. As the season approaches, more celebrity and professional pairings are expected to be revealed.
ABC has already released a first promotional clip for the upcoming season that highlights hosts Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough dancing together. Alfonso, who previously won the competition as a celebrity contestant, has transitioned into hosting duties, while Julianne Hough, a former professional dancer on the show, brings decades of DWTS experience to the stage.
Judges returning to the panel include Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli. Derek Hough, who has served both as a professional dancer and as a judge, is Julianne Hough’s brother and remains a familiar face to the DWTS audience. The season will also proceed in the wake of the passing of former head judge Len Goodman, who died after a battle with bone cancer; Goodman had officially stepped away following season 31.
Dancing with the Stars pairs celebrities with professional dancers to compete in a variety of ballroom and Latin styles. Each week couples perform choreographed routines that are scored by the judges and voted on by the public. The combination of technical critique, entertainment value and audience participation has kept DWTS a ratings staple and cultural touchstone for many years.
Fans eager to learn the full roster of celebrities and professional dancers can mark their calendars: ABC will announce the complete cast on Good Morning America on Wednesday, Sept. 13. That reveal traditionally includes video packages, partner announcements and glimpses at the pros who will be teaching and choreographing for the season.
Dancing with the Stars season 32 will air on ABC and stream on Disney+ in the U.S., with episodes becoming available to stream on Hulu the following day. ABC has not yet announced the official premiere date for the new season.
As speculation continues about additional cast members, Mira Sorvino’s participation would add a seasoned performer to the ballroom—someone with range across drama and comedy and the kind of name recognition that often draws both longtime viewers and curious new audiences. Whether she will bring a classical ballroom aesthetic or a more theatrical approach to her routines, viewers will be watching closely when the season begins.
Stay tuned for the full cast reveal on Good Morning America and further updates from ABC as rehearsals and promotional activities ramp up ahead of the fall launch.
