ABC dropped the news back in April during a Hulu event, and they've got a fresh spinoff called the next pro, kicking off July 13th. That one's got 12 dancers living together, battling it out to join the pro lineup, hosted by season 34 champ Robert Erwin. Judging the spinoff are Mark Ballis and his mom Shirley Ballis, the Queen of Latin. Meanwhile, the main shows longtime co-host Alfonso Ribeiro and Julian Huff are back for another round, same as they've been since season 32. Season 34 crushed it, pulling the biggest premiere ratings in five years and a 49% jump overall.
