Dancing With The Stars will come dancing back onto television screens in less than two weeks, with a whole new cast of celebrities competing for the mirror ball trophy. There will be several other changes during the new show, some thanks to the coronavirus pandemic and others due to a creative behind-the-scenes shake-up. The pro dance partners for each celebrity will not be revealed until the premiere on Monday, Sept. 14, at 8 p.m. ET on ABC, but the network has announced who will be taking to the ballroom floor. On Friday night, ABC released the official portrait for all 15 celebrities.

This season will be the first without Tom Bergeron as co-host, as both Bergeron and Erin Andrews were pushed out over the summer. Tyra Banks will host for the first time. Judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, and Len Goodman will all be back, although Goodman will have to judge remotely from his home in England due to travel restrictions. Former pro dancer Derek Hough is returning, although his role will not be revealed until Tuesday.
