Mark Ballas Secures Permanent Judging Role on The Next Pro, Hints at Season 35 Return

Mark Ballas has been named a permanent judge on The Next Pro, the DWTS spinoff, bringing his 21-season DWTS pedigree to the panel as the competition seeks its next pro to join the season 35 main cast. He says he’s not a gatekeeper, just an active pro offering feedback, and notes the key 'secret sauce' is adaptability. The Next Pro winner will join DWTS’ main lineup this fall; Ballas says he’s open to a season 35 return and is balancing other gigs, including The Traitors and Broadway’s Chicago.
