A new season of Dancing With the Stars is just around the corner. Read on to find out what time DWTS will premiere tonight, along with more details about the celebrity contestants, professional dancers, judges, hosts, and more.

Dancing With the Stars is ABC’s long-running dance competition that premiered in June 2005. Marvel actress Xochitl Gomez and her dance partner Val Chmerkovskiy won the Len Goodman Mirrorball trophy in 2023. This season, a new group of celebrities will hit the ballroom and showcase their dancing skills to America.

On August 22, American Olympic medalist Stephen Nedoroscik, also known as “Pommel Horse Guy” at the 2024 Paris Olympics, was revealed as the first celebrity contestant for Season 33. A few weeks later, the full celebrity and professional cast was announced on Good Morning America. For their first dance on the show, some of the stars will perform dances like the cha cha, salsa, foxtrot, tango and jive, according to GMA.

DWTS has seen many changes in recent years, including the addition of two new hosts and the loss of beloved judge Len Goodman, who passed away in April 2023 after his retirement. DWTS Executive Producer Conrad Green told Entertainment Weekly that the show found a “really good groove” last season.

"Alfonso [Ribeiro] and Julianne [Hough] are incredible. Our judging panel was really tight and not replacing Len allows us a bit more room to play and bring other people in,” the EP explained. “And the way that ABC, Disney+, and Hulu all broadcast the show feels like we're really connected to all the audiences who watch. We're plugged into the 21st century fully."

Green also hinted at plans to shake things up in the ballroom this season, promising to "throw new curveballs" at the celebrities. He continued, "It's very much evolution rather than revolution... We've got some new things planned along the way, but essentially we want to make it the show that so many people have watched across generations."
