Celebrities and professional dancers alike are putting on their ballroom shoes with the hopes of taking home the Len Goodman mirrorball trophy! On Wednesday, Good Morning America revealed the complete Dancing With the Stars Season 33 cast, announcing the full list of celebrity and pro dancer partners set to battle it out on the dance floor when the ABC dancing competition returns on Sept. 17.

This year's competitors include Real Housewives of Atlanta star Phaedra Parks dancing with pro Val Chmerkovskiy; Beverly Hills, 90210 actress Tori Spelling competing with Pasha Pashkov; Academy Award-nominee Eric Roberts dancing with Britt Stewart; and Anna Delvey, the convicted con artist and fraudster whose story inspired Netflix's Inventing Anna, with Ezra Sosa, whose promotion to pro dancer in Season 33 was announced by GLAAD just a day before Wednesday's announcement.

Season 33's lineup also includes NBA champion Dwight Howard partnered with Daniella Karagach; former NFL wide receiver Danny Amendola paired with Witney Carson; Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Brooks Nader dancing with Gleb Savchenk; Olympic rugby player Ilona Maher partnered with Alan Bersten; The Bachelor's Joey Graziadei paired with Jenna Johnson; Pretty Little Liars: Summer School star Chandler Kinney competing with Brandon Armstrong; Family Matters star Reginald VelJohnson partnered with Emma Slater; and The Bachelorette's Jenn Tran competing with Sasha Farber.

Prior to Wednesday's announcement, one celebrity competitor was already known. Olympic bronze medalist Stephen Nedoroscik, who went viral as the "pommel horse guy" at 2024 Paris Olympics, was announced as the first celebrity contestant for Season 33 in late August, telling GMA, "I'm very excited." He will be paired with Rylee Arnold.

Notably missing from this season's roster of contestants is several pros. Artem Chigvintsev. Peta Murgatroyd, and Lindsay Arnold will not be competing. Both Murgatroyd and Arnold shared prior to the Wednesday announcement that they would not be involved with the season, both citing a desire to focus on their families – Murgatroyd and her Maks Chmerkovskiy welcomed their second baby on July 12, with Arnold telling Forbes last week that she's focusing on her daughters, but not ruling out a possible DWTS return sometime in the future. Sources, meanwhile, told Page Six last week amid his domestic violence arrest that "there were no plans for Artem to be a part" of Season 33.
