Dancing with the Stars returns to ABC this fall for its 35th season and, happily, Bruno Tonioli, one of the two remaining OG judges along with Carrie Ann Inaba, shared that he will be returning for another season.
"The thing with me, I'm kind of the least planning person," Tonioli told TVLine in an interview shared on Thursday when asked if he's given any thought on how long he wants to continue judging the dance competition. "I love my job. I really, really enjoy it. That's really the reason. I enjoy the public. It is almost like doing a Broadway show. There is such instant feedback you get from the audience."
A big part of his enjoyment in the job is watching and critiquing the work done by the pro dancers, who each week choreograph a dance for their celebrity partner.
"The kids really excite me, I'm not making it up," he continued. "They deliver work of the highest standard and I'm always excited about watching what they're going to do."

And so, Tonioli reiterates that "until they [don 't] want me, I'll be there. Because I really love the show. I really do."
Tonioli also spoke to TVLine about this summer’s new spinoff show Dancing with the Stars: The Next Pro, which premieres on July 13 and will feature 12 young ballroom dancers who will compete for a permanent position in this fall’s DWTS pro cast. Season 34 champ Robert Irwin will host with pro Mark Ballas and his mom, Shirley Ballas, aka "the Queen of Latin," serving as permanent judges, along with as yet unnamed guest judges.

“I am not in the spinoff but friends of mine are,” Tonioli said. “I can’t give too much away but it’s very exciting to see potential new talent. “
As for how the new pro may fair next season on DWTS, Tonioli says, “Imagine a football team. We always push for the best. We always want the best. Judges always push them, ‘Give me more!’ So, they have to get in and prove themselves but it is friendly competition. Knock me out.”
Dancing With the Stars returns this fall on ABC, Disney+ and Hulu. Dancing with the Stars: The Next Pro premieres on July 13 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC. Streams next day on Hulu.
