The Hollywood Reporter says Dancing With the Stars Season 35 opened with the male celebrities competing and the season’s first elimination taking place.
The premiere is structured across two nights, with the female celebrity contestants scheduled to compete on the second evening.
DraftKings Network also published live elimination updates, while The Big Lead separately confirmed the September 15 Season 35 premiere and cast rollout.
Echotitbits take: A split premiere gives the show two consecutive nights to build social-media conversation around the cast. Early audience reaction and the first full-week ratings will show which contestants are emerging as fan favourites.
