Following his Halloween Night elimination on Dancing With the Stars, first-time pro-dancer Jan Ravnik is already looking ahead to the possibility of Season 35.

While the show has not yet been renewed by ABC, nor are the producers thinking that far ahead as far as casting goes, Ravnik has set his sights on his next partner, after finishing out his debut season with Jen Affleck in ninth place, and fans are already sweating over the very thought of seeing the dancer partner up with the one and only Sofia Vergara.

In a new video uploaded to TikTok on Monday, Nov. 3, set to Taylor Swift’s “Actually Romantic”—an apparent response to the ongoing drama surrounding the Eras Tour alum after former DWTS pro-dancer Maks Chmerkovskiy criticized his casting on the series—Ravnik bopped to the song as he ate in his trailer, eventually throwing Swift’s famous heart hands at the camera.

It's unclear what about the video sparked the idea (it's possible it was taken from another TikToker's dreamcasting for next season and was just a random attempt to catch the dancer's attention) but one fan excitedly commented, "JAN + SOFIA VERGARA NEXT SEASON!" alongside a selfie of the America's Got Talent judge, adding, "Putting it in universe 🕺🏻💃🏻🌟."

Ravnik immediately latched onto the idea, encouraging fans to "Text 'Sofia' on 21523 !"—the voting line where viewers text in the name of the contestant they want to see advance each week.

Fans were above and beyond on board for what they deemed to be the "perfect" pairing, with one immediately calling for "Someone [to] get casting on the phone!!!"

"YESSSSSSSSSSSS PERFECTION!!" another emphasized, as someone else agreed, "Oooo this would be soooo good."

"Omg yess I live for this," somebody else replied.

Others quipped that the two together might be too hot to handle, with one called just the idea of it "next level hot" and another admitting, "Idk if my tv could handle this level of hottt🔥."

A Recent Surgery May Mean the Opportunity Is off the Table, Though

However, as one fan pointed out, next season might not be in the cards for the Modern Family alum, who recently underwent knee surgery. It's not clear what the procedure was for—thus, what her recovery time will be—but she shared an update not long after which indicated recovery was going well.

Estimates suggest at least six months of recovery before any strenuous activity on the joint, but it's hard to say how close she is without more details.

Parade has reached out to representatives for Vergara for comment.
