The ninth season of the French version of Dancing with the Stars started in October 2018 on TF1. It was hosted by Camille Combal and Karine Ferri. Nico Archambault did not reprise his role as judge and was replaced by Patrick Dupond. Fauve Hautot also left the panel of the judges to return as a dancer and was replaced by the winner of Danse avec les stars, Shy'm. Jean-Marc Généreux and Chris Marques both returned as judges.

Danse avec les stars is the French version of British TV show Strictly Come Dancing, first broadcast on TF1 on 12 February 2011, the participants having been selected in November 2010. The first series finale took place on 19 March 2011. A second series was broadcast between 8 October – 19 November 2011. Since then TF1 has chosen to broadcast the program once a year, in the autumn. The show has tentatively scheduled its thirteenth series to begin in 2024.
