This season boasts an impressive lineup of celebrity contestants from all walks of life. Expect drama with the likes of Real Housewives of Atlanta star Phaedra Parks teaming up with Val Chmerkovskiy, along with Bachelor stars Joey Graziadei and Jenn Tran, who will dance with Jenna Johnson and Sasha Farber respectively.

Athletes always surprise us with their moves, and this season features former NFL wide receiver Danny Amendola (with Witney Carson) and NBA superstar Dwight Howard (with Daniella Karagach). Hot off the Paris Olympics, rugby player Ilona Maher and gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik will also grace the dance floor, paired with Alan Bersten and Rylee Arnold.

As usual, Hollywood is well represented, with Z-O-M-B-I-E-S star Chandler Kinney dancing with Brandon Armstrong, Beverly Hills 90210‘s Tori Spelling with Pasha Pashkov, and movie icon Eric Roberts paired with Britt Stewart. Sitcom legend Reginald VelJohnson will be dancing with Emma Slater, while model Brooks Nader partners with Gleb Savchenko.

Perhaps the most unexpected contestant is notorious con artist Anna Delvey, who will join newcomer pro Ezra Sosa on the dance floor.

It’s anyone’s guess who will take home the coveted Len Goodman mirrorball trophy this year, but one thing’s for sure: it’s going to be an exhilarating season of dance!
