Who will take home the Mirrorball like past Dancing with the Stars contestants Nyle DiMarco and Bindi Irwin? She continued as a dancer through Season 8 and departed before the ninth season, before returning as a judge for seasons 19 through 21.

Derek Hough will reportedly be back as a pro partner after taking season 22 off.

This is shaping up to be an epic season of Dancing With the Stars, with the return of Derek and Julianne as well as Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

After missing out on Season 22, Derek Hough will return as a pro for Season 23 of Dancing With The Stars.

Turns out the report was unfounded, as Gossip Cop reports. Derek will be dancing, while Julianne will be judging – get all the details here!

Julianne, meanwhile, appeared as Sandy Young in FOX’s well-received Grease Live! this past January.

Hough joins fellow pros Maksim and Val Chmerkovskiy, Gleb Savchenko, Witney Carson, Artem Chigvintsev, Sharna Burgess, Lindsay Arnold and Sasha Farber. On October 24, Derek will begin rehearsals for his starring role in NBC’s Hairspray Live! as Corny Collins.

The complete (and official) Season 23 cast is scheduled to be revealed Tuesday, August 30 on Good Morning America – but be sure to continue to check back right here at Hidden Remote for the latest Dancing with the Stars spoilers! Rather, Julianne will sit in a judge’s chair offering advice to the stars as they show off their skills beginning Monday, September 12 on ABC. The names of some of the celebs have already been released, according to Entertainment Tonight, such as actress Maureen McCormick (Marcia Brady from the Brady Bunch), Olympic swimmer and gold medal-winner, Ryan Lochte, and singer-songwriter Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds. Other stars who will vie for the Mirror Ball trophy in DWTS Season 23 include Terra Jole (“Little Women”), Emma Samms (“General Hospital”), Jake T. Austin (“Wizards of Waverly Place”), and model Amber Rose. Another potential cast member could be former Bachelorette, JoJo Fletcher.
