The ninth season of Croatian dance competition television series Ples sa zvijezdama premiered on 3 March and concluded on 2 June 2019 on Nova TV.
The season was won by Slavko Sobin and his professional partner Gabriela Pilić.
Production In late 2018, various Croatian news outlets reported that Ples sa zvijezdama is set to return to television after the series went on a hiatus following its eight season in 2013. The license for the series was obtained by Nova TV, making the ninth season the first season of the series to not air on HRT 1.
Due to the network change, the hosts and the panel of judges were revamped. Janko Popović Volarić and Mia Kovačić replaced HRT's Barbara Kolar and Duško Čurlić as the presenters for the ninth season. Dinko Bogdanić, who was the main judge in all of HRT's seasons, remained on the judging panel, and was joined by Nicolas Quesnoit, and Tamara Despot, who previously participated as professional dancers, as well as by Almira Osmanović. Davor Bilman, the main judge in previous seasons, did not return to the judging panel due to judging Nova TV's another talent show series, Supertalent.
Nova TV ordered 12 episodes for the ninth season, as opposed to HRT's previous eight episodes per season format. Although it is chronologically the ninth season of the series, Nova TV's programming schedule had it listed as season 1, given that it is the first season broadcast by the network.
Cast The cast of season 9 was revealed in February 2019.
