The Season 33 premiere of ABC's Dancing With The Stars isn't until Sept. 17, but the network has already confirmed a few stars set to compete for the Mirrorball Trophy or return as pros. While the only officially confirmed celebrity dancer is Olympian Stephen Nedoroscik, rumors are swirling about other potential dancers who will work it out on the ballroom floor this fall.
With names like Jason Kelce being thrown around as potential dancers, and rumors online about the likes of The Bachelor's Joey Graziadei and Bravo's Phaedra Parks potentially joining, it's an exciting time to be a fan of Dancing With The Stars.

Olympics' 'Pommel Horse Guy' Will Test His Dance Skills
Stephen Nedoroscik may have impressed Olympic fans with his astounding pommel horse routine and gone viral as the unofficial star of the summer games in Paris this year, but can he foxtrot his way to victory on TV? We will find out come September, because Stephen officially announced that he's doing Dancing With the Stars during an appearance on Good Morning America earlier this month.
Stephen wowed audiences with his deft skill, made even more dramatic by the fact that he has vision loss. Whether through memes or on TikTok, Stephen got the country pumped about the pommel horse event this year, which isn't easy to do.
Con Artist Anna Delvey Rumored To Join DWTS Cast
Page Six exclusively reported that convicted con artist Anna Delvey had signed on to compete, although it is noted in the piece that ABC did not comment to confirm. But the rumor mill is working overtime with the news of Anna's casting. After all, it wouldn't be the first time that the reality TV juggernaut cast controversial figures.

Dancing With The Stars’ Cameron Mathison Reveals He Asked To Change Partners Due To His Wife’s Jealousy
Cameron Mathison and his wife Vanessa were going through a rough patch when he joined Dancing With The Stars.
The show has been known to cast notorious celebrities, media personalities and politicians (see: Carole Baskin, Olivia Jade Giannulli, Bristol Palin, Paula Deen, Sean Spicer). If Anna were to join the cast, it would satisfy the "controversial stunt casting" element that is part of the show.
Anna has made a return to social media, and she cryptically teased a rumored reality show, although it wasn't DWTS. Maybe she's just trying to throw us off the spray-tan-scented trail?
Veteran Judging Panel All Confirmed To Appear On Season 33
ABC confirmed on Aug. 13 through social media that the show's longtime judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tognioli and Derek Hough are all confirmed to appear on Season 33 of Dancing With The Stars. The show's core judging panel has largely remained unchanged since its premiere, with the exception, of course, of the death of Len Goodman in April of 2023. Derek, a former DWTS pro dancer, began acting as a guest judge in 2020.
Pro Witney Carson Confirmed To Appear on Dancing With The Stars
While the majority of the pro dancers are still under wraps, consider Witney Carson's return as a pro official. It was announced in late August that the fan favorite would return to hoof it on Season 33 of DWTS.
Witney has appeared on DWTS periodically since Season 18, when she was paired with teen idol Cody Simpson. Other celebrity partners she's been paired with include current DWTS host Alfonso Ribeiro, Vanilla Ice, Chris Kattan and Kel Mitchell.

Alfonso Ribeiro And Julianne Hough Also Confirmed For Season 33
Dynamic hosting duo Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough have also been confirmed to return for Season 33. Julianne, the sister of judge Derek Hough, has a long history with the show, having first competed as a pro dancer back in 2007. Since then, she's appeared as a pro dancer, guest judge and finally, as the show's host since 2023. She and Alfonso have been hosting the show together since last year, although Alfonso previously hosted with Tyra Banks during her tenure in the hosting spot. Tyra was famously disliked by DWTS fans, and she left after two seasons.
The full cast of Dancing With The Stars will be announced on Wednesday, Sept. 4 on Good Morning America. Season 33 begins Sept. 17 on ABC, Disney+ and streaming on Hulu.
