Slip on your dancing shoes, Australia—Dancing with the Stars is back. Season 22 waltzes onto Seven and 7plus this Sunday, 15 June at 7:00 PM AEST, bringing a new crop of celebrities, their chosen charities, and enough sequins to blind a magpie.
Hosts Sonia Kruger and Dr. Chris Brown return to steer the ship, while judges Craig Revel Horwood, Helen Richey, Sharna Burgess, and Mark Wilson resume their positions at the scoring table. This season’s roster of hopefuls includes a mix of Olympians, actors, comedians, and TV personalities—all vying for the coveted Mirrorball Trophy.
Dancing with the Stars understands its lane: broad appeal, feel-good competition, and the kind of high-gloss production that screams primetime. It’s a formula that’s worked for decades, and this season looks to keep the machine well-oiled, balancing talent with train-wreck potential and hoping for enough viral moments to keep the buzz going across social media.
Will a dark horse emerge? Can a seasoned pro recapture past glory? Or will a reality TV veteran use the platform to launch their next fifteen minutes of fame? Tune in Sunday to find out.
