‘DWTS’ Season 27 Cast Revealed: Full List Of Teams Competing For Mirrorball
Following a shortened 26th season of all athlete competitors, “Dancing With the Stars” is once again returning to its roots for Season 27, with a full cast competing over several weeks of competition.
Naturally, with the return to its roots, the show is bringing out as much of an all-star cast as they ever could. During a live broadcast of “Good Morning America,” the official pairs for the new season were revealed. While fans were already treated to the news that pro dancer Val Chmerkovskiy would be returning after taking a season off, and Brandon Armstrong was making his debut as one, the complete partnerships are also equally as exciting.
The full list of teams is featured below:
1. “Bachelorette” and “Bachelor In Paradise” star “Grocery Store” Joe Amabile and current reigning champ Jenna Johnson
2. “Facts of Life” star Nancy McKeon and two-time champ Val Chmerkovskiy
3. Comedian Nikki Glaser and Gleb Savchenko
4. “Fuller House” star Juan Pablo di Pace and two-time Mirrorball Trophy winner Cheryl Burke
5. Singer Tinashe and Brandon Armstrong
6. Radio Personality Bobby Bones and Sharna Burgess
7. Model Alexis Ren and Alan Bersten
8. Disney star Milo Manheim and Season 19 champ Witney Carson
9. American Alpine Skier and Paralympian Danelle Umstead and Artem Chigvintsev
10. Former Denver Broncos and Dallas Cowboys linebacker/defensive end DeMarcus Ware and Season 25 winner Lindsay Arnold
11. “Harry Potter” star Evanna Lynch and Keo Motsepe
12. “Dukes of Hazard” star John Schneider and Season 24 champ Emma Slater
13. Former Olympic Gymnast Mary Lou Retton and Sasha Farber
Several of the celebrities identities had previously been leaked ahead of the announcement, though Nancy and Val, as well as Witney and Milo, were the only ones who had previously been confirmed by ABC, with each team making a separate appearance on “GMA” to confirm their partnerships. Prior to the official announcement, Joe, Bobby, Mary Lou, Alexis, John, DeMarcus, Danelle and Juan Pablo were all rumored to be dancing. As for the partnerships, Bobby and Sharna had been revealed to be working together.
Prior to the official announcement, Burgess had previously taken to Twitter to reveal subtle clues about her partnership, hinting that she and Bones had immediately clicked, which could make them a threat on the dance floor.
“Here’s what I’ll tell you...we laugh A LOT, we work so hard every minute of rehearsal already. He’s in this for the right reasons & with a heart of gold. In just 3 days he’s grown so much already, and I think you’re all going to adore him. I already do,” she shared on Twitter earlier this month.
