'Dancing With The Stars' Season 19 Release Date, Cast News: Pro Dancer Rumors Swirl as New Season Nears

Only one month remains until the Season 19 premiere of ABC's 'Dancing with the Stars' and this time around, news about the cast has fans ecstatic. Viewers were shocked with excitement as they learned that former members of the show will be retuning to entertain them once more. Pros such as Tony Dovolani, Cheryl Burke, Mark Ballas and Karina Smirnoff will appear when the season debuts on September 15.

The aforementioned four phenomenal dancers will be joined by eight other pros to try their hands at the Season 19 DWTS championship. Among some of the other professionals are Derek Hough, Emma Slater, Peta Murgatroyd, Keo Motsepe, Artem Chigvintsev and Allison Holker.

However, on a sour note, one of the fan favorite dancers that will not be returning to the show is Maxim Chmerkovskiy. He announced last month that he would not be performing on the show, but that makes sense as he will go out on a high note, after winner last season's competition with Olympian Meryl Davis.

While the fans already know which pros to expect on the upcoming season of 'Dancing with the Stars' they will have to wait until September 4 to learn the names of the celebrities that will accompany them.

11 days after that, fans will be be able to watch the 'Dancing with the Stars' Season 19 two-hour special premiere on ABC.
