It’s time to head back to the ballroom! Dancing With The Stars‘ historic 30th season begins on Monday, Sept. 20, with another star-studded group of celebrities from all spheres of influence competing for the mirrorball trophy. The two-hour episode kicks off at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and will be available to stream on Hulu and on-demand Tuesday.
This season will once again be hosted by supermodel Tyra Banks, who took over from Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews last season. Derek Hough is also back as judge after he sat in for Len Goodman, who could not travel to Los Angeles due to coronavirus travel restrictions still in place last year. However, Goodman is back, too, meaning there will be four judges this season. Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli are also back to judge the celebrities’ dancing skills.
