Julianne Hough is not returning for season 25 of Dancing With the Stars.

Hough returned to the judging panel for season 23 and 24.

The cast of DWTS‘ season 25 features Nick Lachey, Vanessa Lachey, Property Brothers star Drew Scott, Pretty Little Liars veteran Sasha Pieterse, violinist Lindsey Stirling, Hamilton veteran Jordan Fisher, singer Debbie Gibson, WWE star Nikki Bella, Shark Tank‘s Barbara Corcoran, NBA coach Derek Fisher, Malcolm in the Middle‘s Frankie Muniz, ESPN’s Victoria Arlen and former NFL player Terrell Owens.
