Dancing With the Stars (DWTS) will return with a new season this autumn. Tyra Banks will return to hosting, but she will not be alone this time. Alfonso Ribeiro, a former DWTS champion, will co-host Season 31 with Banks. They’ve known each other for decades thanks to their work on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Another important difference is that the new season will debut on Disney+ rather than the ABC network.
In a press release, Ribeiro commented on his return to the stage of the reality TV show:
“For so many years, Dancing with the Stars has been such an essential part of my life, and I am overjoyed to formally re-join this close-knit family as cohost.” Tyra and I have a long history of friendship, which I hope will connect with all of the fans at home as we begin this new season on Disney+.”
