Meet the ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Season 27 Cast!
After a brief foray into an all-athletes cast for season 26, Dancing With the Stars is returning for season 27 with a fresh slate of familiar names and faces who will be competing for the coveted Mirrorball trophy this fall.
The full lineup of celebrity contestants, as well as their pro-dancer pairings, was announced on Good Morning America on Wednesday, September 12. It was a fittingly flashy reveal, with the studio transformed into a neon-lit dance floor and the cast taking over to show off the work they’ve already put in with a choreographed group number.
Season 27 will premiere on September 24. In the meantime, check out the celebrity contestants and their pro dance partners below.
