Social media influencer Alix Earle is joining season 34 of ABC's Dancing with the Stars.
The model gained fame on TikTok for her "Get Ready With Me" videos. Products she endorsed quickly sold out, which helped to earn her a spot on Forbes' Top Creators and Fashion 50 lists. She was also named Allure's Beauty Creator of 2024, which is chosen by readers.
The Miami-based Earle is also the creator and host of the popular "Hot Mess" podcast.
Earle is the second contestant who's been announced for the upcoming season; the first was wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin. The full cast of celebrities and pros will be announced at a later date.
Season 33 of DWTS ranked No. 1 this past fall among adults 18-49 in Live+Same Day viewing, marking the first time the series ranked No. 1 for the broadcast season in L+SD in its history.
The show also attracted younger viewers in season 33, earning the show's best adults 18-34 ratings in four years. The season culminated with the highest total viewer audience (7.95 million) and adults 18-49 (1.55 rating) in over three years. After breaking several voting records throughout the season, the finale also set another record with over 32 million votes cast for the teams.
The show is produced in front of a live audience by BBC Studios Los Angeles Productions.

Netflix is diving deeper into the reality space with "House of Streams," an interactive series that merges traditional unscripted television with the world of online content creation.
The series will feature eight popular streamers and content creators living together in a villa for two weeks as they compete for a Bitcoin grand prize, currently worth $108,800. Sports and entertainment presenter Nicole Holliday, known for hosting major EA FIFA streaming tournaments and her work with Sky Sports, will host the show.
The series features a fully interactive format with a live chat feature that allows viewers to engage directly with contestants. "We held several rounds of casting sessions with streamers from all around the world over the span of two months," said Mark Holland, creator and director of the series. "We screened each applicant and interviewed the first round of casting and invited only 13 for the second round. 12 were selected and after third round, we selected 8 and one streamer as backup."
The eight contestants boast a combined social media following of over 4 million across platforms, representing diverse territories including the U.S., U.K. and Australia. They'll face various challenges and competitive activities while viewers participate in real-time decision-making.
The project is produced by Stream House Media Productions (SHriMP) with backing from the Malta Film Commission. Camelot Films facilitated the Netflix deal and is handling promotion, with producer Luke Croft-Faulkner leading marketing efforts.

Actress and model Elizabeth Hurley will play a "dearly departed" and "fabulously glamorous benefactor" simply known as "The Deceased" in the upcoming Channel 4 reality series The Inheritance, the U.K. broadcaster unveiled on Wednesday.
"Thirteen strangers are summoned to a grand stately home. They are there to compete for part of the fortune left in the will of The Deceased," according to a show description. "But winning the money won't be easy. The Deceased had a wicked sense of humor and has designed a mischievous game to ensure only the best players can get their hands on her inheritance."
Overseeing the stipulations of The Deceased's is her executor and trusted legal counsel, portrayed by lawyer and British TV personality Robert Rinder.
"The lucky 13 must work as a team to complete The Deceased's final requests, a series of devilishly difficult assignments that will demand they are clever, collaborative and cunning," said Channel 4. In a key twist, only one player can claim the money gained in each request.
"It's a thrill to be part of this clever game, playing The Deceased," Hurley said. "It all takes place on her huge estate in the English countryside, and she dresses to the nines in every scene."
Added Rinder: "This is a high-stakes strategy game served with a side of scheming and sabotage. As The Executor I enforce the rules, keep the chaos in check – more or less – and make sure our players are deserving of every glittering penny left by our dearly departed deceased, played by the iconic Elizabeth Hurley."
The Inheritance will air on Channel 4 this fall. The 12-episode series is co-produced by Studio Lambert, part of All3Media, owned by Jeff Zucker and Gerry Cardinale's RedBird IMI, and GroupM Motion Entertainment. It was commissioned for Channel 4 by Steve Handley, head of reality & entertainment, with Tom Beck, head of live events and commissioning editor, reality & entertainment and Genna Gibson, commissioning editor, reality & entertainment.
The executive producers for Studio Lambert are Tim Harcourt, Darrell Olsen, Kim Murphy and Joe Wildman, with Martin Oxley for GroupM Motion Entertainment. The production executives for Studio Lambert are Shona Kemp and Ellie Rowe, with Karen Bonnici for GroupM Motion Entertainment. All3Media International will handle format and tape sales worldwide.

Wheel of Fortune is ready to satisfy fans in a whole new format–part of which is even edible!
The long-running game show is teaming up with the legendary Dylan's Candy Bar to launch an exclusive collection of merchandise this year, it announced on Tuesday, noting that some but not all the items are sweet enough to eat.
The new collection will feature products spanning every candy food group, according to the May 20 announcement. It's also due to add some non-edible items as well, but further details, like exactly what will debut with the collaboration, have not been made available just yet. It is supposed to be a "sweet surprise," after all.
What we do know for certain, however, is that the "exciting" assortment of edible and WoF treats and non-edible collectibles will be available at all Dylan's Candy Bar locations as well as online this fall, as prices are expected to range from $18 to $125.
"We are always looking for fun, nostalgic ways to bring people together through candy, and what better way than partnering with one of America's most beloved game shows?" said Dylan Lauren, founder and CEO of Dylan's Candy Bar, in a statement. "This collection is a playful celebration of sweet surprises, and we can't wait to share what's in store."
More information on the special collaboration, including full product details and images of the products, will be made public closer to the launch. Until then, fans are told to keep a watchful eye.

You better think.
The popular word-based game show THINK, originally launched in Turkey in 2009 under the title Kelime Oyunu, continues to expand internationally.
The format, owned by Bavaria Entertainment and distributed globally by Sera Film, has sustained long-term success thanks to its dynamic pace and universally appealing concept.
To date, THINK has been adapted in five territories—Turkey, Romania, Slovakia, Poland, and for Kurdish-speaking audiences—demonstrating its wide-reaching resonance. Most recently, the format was optioned in Spain, signaling growing interest from additional markets. In Romania, THINK has enjoyed remarkable success.
Licensed in 2022 by Kanal D under the local title Jocul Cuvintelor, the show is hosted by well-known presenter Dan Negru. With more than 300 episodes aired, the format has now been officially renewed for both a fifth and sixth season, solidifying its status as a staple in Romanian primetime programming.
Idil Belli, CEO of Sera Film, commented: "We have always believed in the global potential of THINK. Having surpassed 3,750 episodes in Turkey, we're thrilled to see the format replicate its success in Romania. In a time when the industry is in search of scalable, high-return formats, THINK proves its adaptability and enduring audience appeal."
Fatih Salış, News and Internal Productions Director at Kanal D Romania, added: "Jocul Cuvintelor cu Dan Negru has become a true phenomenon in Romania. It has shaped new viewing habits and consistently ranks Kanal D at number one in its timeslot. Romanian viewers clearly value a quiz show that blends entertainment with intelligence, and we are proud to deliver high-quality programming that meets their expectations."
The show's easy-to-follow and family-friendly format even inspired a mobile game, which has been downloaded over 100,000 times to date, further extending its brand reach.
In each episode, five contestants compete to guess 14 words, starting from four letters and progressing up to ten. The longer the word, the more points earned—demanding a strong vocabulary, quick thinking, and tactical gameplay.

Fan favorite Emmy(R) Award-winning actor, director, producer, and podcaster, LeVar Burton ("Roots," "Star Trek: The Next Generation," "Reading Rainbow") will return to host and executive produce TRIVIAL PURSUIT.

In TRIVIAL PURSUIT, the beloved board game is reimagined in a question-packed entertainment format. Play occurs on a giant version of the iconic Trivial Pursuit game board, as contestants battle through a range of play-along question categories to win wedges and beat each other to the center.

SCRABBLE is produced by Hasbro Entertainment, The CW, Mattel Television Studios and Lionsgate Alternative Television. David Hurwitz serves as showrunner and executive producer. Raven-Symoné serves as executive producer alongside Gabriel Marano, David Garfinkle and Chynna Weiss.
