Disney/ABCFormer pro and two-time Mirrorball champion Kym Johnson will also join Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, and Derek Hough at the judges’ table.

Dylan Efron Dedicates His Dance to His Family
“The Traitors” Season 3 winner Dylan Efron is turning his moment on “Dancing With the Stars” into a heartfelt family tribute.
The reality star will perform a contemporary dance dedicated to his younger sister, Olivia, set to “Rewrite the Stars” by Zac Efron and Zendaya from “The Greatest Showman.” The choice of song makes the performance especially meaningful, symbolizing the deep bond between the Efron brothers.
While Zac won’t be appearing in person for the special Dedication Night, his presence will be felt through the music: a powerful reminder of their shared connection and mutual admiration.
Dylan has often spoken lovingly about his older brother. On the “Therapuss” podcast, he reflected on growing up in Zac’s shadow while always feeling proud of his success. “My whole life, Zac’s been famous, and I never wanted to mess up his career and stuff like that,” Dylan said. “I always looked up to him. So then, when everyone else started looking up to him, [it] was like, of course, my big brother.”
Speaking to People, Dylan shared how special this week’s performance will be with his family in the audience. “I’m really excited for my mom to be there,” he said. “But also, my dad and my little brother and little sister. It’s gonna make me tear up to see them in the stands.”
With his family cheering from the sidelines and his brother’s song guiding every step, Dylan’s performance promises to be one of the most emotional moments of the season, a true celebration of love, family, and resilience.
“Dancing With the Stars” airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC and streams live on Disney+. New episodes are available for streaming the next day on Hulu.
This week’s Dedication Night promises to be one of the most emotional evenings of the season, filled with family tributes, powerful performances, and heartfelt stories that remind fans why they keep tuning in.
