Each star was featured in the announcement with a recorded individual video to the fans of America.

Real Housewives of Atlanta star Moore was seen gripping a mirrorball in her video during the announcement and said, “I am going to twirl for that mirrorball.”

Bachelor James is another major eye-candy of the season, asking in the video, “are you ready for this America?”

Black country singer Jimmie Allen talked to the show about the intense rehearsals undergone  for the show, saying, “You know, these rehearsals, listen here — I have never ballroom danced a day in my life. Just know — it’s rough.”

NBA player Iman Shumpert of the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets is also a major addition to the show.

“I have to focus on footwork a lot for basketball…so I’m gonna lean on my ability to take direction from being in basketball, but hopefully my partner can just make sure that, you know, when the lights are on, we look good,” he shared with the show.

Some other big stars to look out for this season are Olympic gold medalist Suni Lee, Mel C of the Spice Girls, Bling Empire star Christine Chiu, Emmy-nominated actress Melora Hardin, YouTuber Olivia Jade, 

The Karate Kid actor Martin Kove, and many more.

Dancing with the Stars is famous for being one of the most popular reality TV competition shows and has been a hit on the ABC network for more than 15 years. 

Tyra Banks will also return to host the show, which premieres on Monday, September 20, on ABC.
