Dancing with the Stars Announces Premiere Date, Pro Dancer Lineup

Dancing With the Stars is coming back, and soon! ABC's long-running dance competition announced on Good Morning America on Tuesday that it'll be twirling back into our hearts beginning Monday, Sept. 14.

Of course, Season 29 has already provided us with some big surprises off the bat. Tyra Banks will host (and executive produce) this season, replacing longtime co-hosts Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews. And Dancing with the Stars has yet to reveal exactly what measures it's taking to combat coronavirus, which will almost certainly translate to changes to the show as we know it, if only the live studio audience. The previous seasons of DWTS have definitely provided us with plenty of shocks and surprises, so it's fair to say Season 29 will take the element of surprise to the next level. 

Banks appeared on GMA Tuesday, appearing to hint at more unexpected changes to come. 

"OK, let's just keep this real: It is going to be so next level," Banks said in an appearance on the show. "We're doing all this crazy stuff, taking it into the next level, but still keeping the stuff that we know America loves. But you need to get ready because it's going to be different."

DWTS didn't share the names of the celebrities who'll be competing in Season 29, but the show did reveal which pro dancers we'll see on the floor. We will see the return of Sharna Burgess and Keo Motsepe, as well as the addition of professional ballroom dancers Britt Stewart and Daniella Karagach who will be getting celebrity partners for the first time. True to his word, Maksim Chmerkovskiy isn't returning, but his wife Peta Murgatroyd will be vying for The Mirror Ball Trophy.
