‘Dancing With the Stars’ Season 33: These Are the Famous Faces Who Should Join the Show
Viewers will likely find out the complete celebrity crew for the latest Dancing with the Stars installment in late summer. The ABC series typically combines a mix of famous faces, newsmakers, athletes, reality TV stars, and teen sensations to balance out their cast. In no particular order, these are the famous faces who should compete for a mirrorball trophy in Season 33.
These are the celebrities who should join Season 33 of ‘Dancing with the Stars’
Typically, Dancing with the Stars‘ eclectic mix of celebrities always boast star power. The chemistry somehow clicks, and the performers become a cohesive group each season.
Here is the unofficial list of talent that should hit the ballroom floor. These picks are a wish list with some DWTS ties.
Former DWTS pro-Cheryl Burke predicts that Vanderpump Rules star Tom Sandoval will join the cast one season after his ex-Ariana Maddix competed. However, DWTS expert Kristyn Burtt believes that Sandoval has had his day, and she’s betting on Pump Rules‘ Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright to be cast.
Parvati Shallow has also shown up on several lists as a favorite to watch for this season. Shallow won the $1M prize on Survivor: Micronesia. Representing Bachelor Nation could be Golden Bachelor star Gerry Turner or the newest Golden Bachelorette, Joan Vassos.
Then, several athletes are to pick from hot on the heels of the 2024 Summer Olympics. And, of course, one social media superstar, Markell Washington, is a favorite across the board.
People reported that DWTS pro-Jenna Johnson has already revealed her wish-list celebrity; retired NFL player Jason Kelce. “He just retired. I think it’s the perfect thing,” Jenna stated. “If his wife [Kylie] wants to do it with Val, we could definitely do that.”
What’s the casting process for ‘Dancing with the Stars?’
According to The Daily Mail, a source close to DWTS explained how the show’s casting takes place. It is a winning process that creates a talent pool with someone for everyone to root for.
“Dancing with the Stars always overbooks talent and will go to the very last minute to sign someone up,” says an insider. “Producers are constantly talking to stars throughout the year to work with their schedules. Everyone who has been in the news, or will be in the news, are always asked,” the source added.
Who is returning for Season 33 of ‘Dancing with the Stars?’

Season 19 celebrity winner Alfonso Ribeiro will return to host alongside former pro, judge, and two-time mirrorball winning pro-Julianne Hough. Her brother Derek Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba, and Bruno Tonioli will all return as judges.
It has yet to be revealed which pros will return for the newest reality dance competition series installment. Historically, pros find out mid- to late summer if they will be hired for the upcoming season.
While there isn’t an official Season 33 premiere date yet, the series typically returns in September with a finale in late fall. Therefore, the newest installment will hit ABC and Disney+ this fall.
Dancing with the Stars will air on ABC in a two-hour time slot from 8 to 10 p.m. ET on Tuesday nights. Viewers can also stream it live on Disney+, and all episodes will be available the next day on Hulu.
