We probably should have known that when Dancing with the Stars upset the natural order by replacing its longtime hosts with Tyra Banks and then vowed to come back during these uncertain times that it would come back with a big bang. But nothing could quite prepare us for the lineup ABC dropped on 'em this morning: a 15-count squad that includes some of the buzziest and most cult-ish names in showbiz. 

Here's ABC's Fall 2020 TV Schedule

Among the standouts, Tiger King's infamous animal activist Carole Baskin, the living work of art known as Johnny Weir, Disney Channel actor and onetime Internet meme Skai Jackson, rapper Nelly, and former Bachelorette star Kaitlyn Bristowe. The announcement, made on Good Morning America, follows the reveal of the pro dancer lineup, which includes Brandon Armstrong, Alan Bersten, Sharna Burgess, Cheryl Burke, Val Chmerkovskiy, Sasha Farber, Jenna Johnson, Daniella Karagach, Keo Motsepe, Peta Murgatroyd, Pasha Pashkov, Gleb Savchenko, Emma Slater, and Britt Stewart. Pairings weren't revealed because, well, ABC wants us to find out when it premieres.
