Now that season 32 of Dancing With the Stars is officially underway, we’re returning to the dance floor to witness which celebs show up to battle for the mirrorball trophy. We can’t wait to see which celebrities will steal the show as they sway their way to the top spot.

Dancing With the Stars Season 32 Premiere
On September 26, 2023, the 32nd season of Dancing With the Stars is scheduled to premiere on television. This season of DWTS is (kind of) going back to its origins, despite the fact that the previous season was exclusively accessible on Disney+.
Disney+ president Alisa Bowen disclosed in an interview with Deadline that the show was put on the streaming service in an effort to attract a “new generation of fans.”

Dancing With the Stars Judges And Host
The show’s chief judge, Len Goodman, declared his retirement before his death in April 2023. Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, and Derek Hough will all be back on the judges’ table for season 32, according to a Variety source.
On August 21, a teaser for the DWTS show was uploaded to the official social media platforms, revealing the new hosts. Alfonso Ribeiro will be joined by former professional dancer Julianne Hough, who is now an all-around sensation, as the host of the reality competition. Alfonso will emcee the dance floor while Julianne takes over overseeing the Sky Box.
Dancing With the Stars Pro Dancers
Mark Ballas, who danced with Charli D’Amelio, the champion of the previous season, declared at a live performance in March 2023 that he would be resigning from the show. “Let me simply conclude by noting that this is the final time you will witness me dancing in this role. This is my last post for now. According to People, he declared, “This is going to be my last dance.”
In a TikTok video, Season 19 champion Witney Carson McAllister—who danced with former contestant turned host Alfonso Ribeiro—announced that she will not be hitting the dance floor again. She expressed her desire to raise her two young sons and spend time with her family, stating that she is not prepared to resume the demanding schedule of the show.
Val Chmerkovskiy, a professional dancer, and his wife Jenna Johnson recently had a newborn boy. He revealed to Us Weekly that they will return for the competition in season 32. Because she was expecting her son Rome at the time, Jenna—who made history as the first same-sex competitor when she and JoJo Siwa participated in season 30—did not participate in the season 31 competition.
