The official cast has finally been revealed following the initial announcement of Olympian Stephen Nedoroscik. Also known as the “pommel horse guy,” Nedoroscik helped the USA men’s gymnastics team win bronze at the Paris games. He’s been paired with pro Rylee Arnold. While it was rumored Vanderpump Rules’ controversial star Tom Sandoval, Survivor and The Traitors alum Parvati Shallow, The Real Housewives’ Sutton Stracke, Jeopardy host Ken Jennings, and former GMA anchors TJ Holmes and Amy Robach, could be among the competitors with retired NFL star Jason Kelce, they were not among the final lineup.
Instead, the rumored stars who did turn out to be on the list included The Bachelor‘s Joey Graziadei who is paired with Jenna Johnson, and Anna Delvey (aka Anna Sorokin), the subject of Shondaland’s limited Netflix series Inventing Anna, which recounted the events leading up to Delvey’s imprisonment for posing as a German heiress and conning business figures out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. She’ll dance with previously-announced pro, Ezra Sosa who has been a member of the DWTS dance troupe since 2021.
Additional pairings include former Super Bowl Champ Danny Amendola who has been paired with Witney Carson, Bachelorette Jenn Tran who is dancing with Sasha Farber, NBA champ Dwight Howard and Daniella Karagach, TV star Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong, Olympic rugby player Ilona Maher with Alan Bersten, model Brooks Nader with Gleb Savchenko, reality star Phaedra Parks with Val Chmerkovskiy, movie star Eric Roberts with Britt Stewart, TV icon Tori Spelling with Pasha Pashkov, and sitcom star Reginald VelJohnson with Emma Slater.
Who are the Dancing With the Stars Season 33 judges?
Dancing With the Stars confirmed on social media on Tuesday, August 13 that Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, and Derek Hough will return as the mainstay judges. The series often welcomes guest judges, like when Michael Bublé sat with Inaba, Hough, and Tonioli to adjudicate the episode themed around his music. Expect guest judge announcements in-season.
Inaba said she’s “honored to be back” on the judges panel in the comments section of the Instagram announcement on August 13. The trio continues the late Len Goodman‘s legacy, which is further enshrined in the name of the show’s grand prize. The trophy was renamed the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy following his death in April 2023. Inaba and Tonioli hosted the series with Goodman since its first season in 2005.

Who are the Dancing With the Stars Season 33 hosts?
Like Season 32, Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough will serve as hosts. Hough enters her second year as cohost with Ribeiro, who’s entering his third year as host since starting in Season 31 (his first cohost was Tyra Banks). Hough is one of the show’s most successful professional dancers, with two season wins under her belt and time spent as a guest judge as well. Ribeiro was a competitor on Season 19 with pro partner Witney Carson. They took home the Mirrorball Trophy that season.
When does Dancing With the Stars Season 33 premiere?
Dancing With the Stars returns Tuesday, September 17 at 8/7c on ABC. The network has done away with airing the series exclusively on Disney+ after intense fan backlash in Season 31. Like Season 32, however, viewers can tune in live on both ABC and Disney+ this season. Episodes will be available for next-day streaming on Hulu.
