Welcome to the ballroom!
The full cast of “Dancing With the Stars” has finally been revealed, and it looks like there’ll be some major new players in the ballroom this season with Jamie Lynn Spears and “Vanderpump Rules” star Ariana Madix as part of the new cast.
Season 32 of the dancing competition show will return to ABC this fall after the previous season aired exclusively on Disney+.
The new season also includes a new hosting duo: Julianne Hough will now host alongside Alfonso Ribeiro, after Tyra Banks left the show in March.
Cheryl Burke, one of the show’s veteran pro dancers, will also be absent from the dance floor, having bid farewell to “DWTS” last year after 26 seasons.
Read on to see all the Season 32 contestants on “DWTS” and their partners

The “Vanderpump Rules” star, 38, announced in July that she will be joining “DWTS” in the fall with pro partner Derek Hough.
She and Hough shared the news in identical Instagram videos. In the cute clip, Hough walks into Madix’s sandwich shop, Something About Her, and the reality star tells him about the specials on the menu: the Cha-Cha Club, the Mirrorball Meatball Sub, the Ballroom BLT and the Tango Tuna Melt.
“What a totally unplanned coincidence that all those sandwiches sound like dances,” Hough says. “All this sandwich talk made me think about ‘Dancing With the Stars,’ and I think you’d be fantastic on the show. What are you doing this fall?”
Madix also celebrated the news on Instagram.
“I’m beyond grateful, excited, and nervous all rolled into one!” she commented on the video shared by Hough. “Absolutely thrilled.”

The child and family therapist recently got engaged to Dotun Olubeko.
Her fiancé shared the “DWTS” news with her during “The Bachelorette” finale Aug. 21.
“So I know you like to cut up, you like to dance and you like to get down,” Olubeko said to Lawson, according to People. “And you know that we’ve talked about this, about how amazing this opportunity would be, and I am so happy to be the one to tell you that you’re going to be on ‘Dancing With the Stars.’”
Lawson revealed that rehearsals had begun in a Sept. 11 Instagram video.
“As you can see, I am currently in the ‘Dancing With the Stars’ studio,” she says in the video. “And my dance partner is right over there. You can’t see him quite yet.”
