Who Will Judge 'Dancing With The Stars: Juniors?'

Fans of "Dancing With the Stars" know they can count on their panel of judges to provide some of both the most biting and hilarious moments on the show when they weigh in on a couple's routine. However, a new trio will be stepping in to try and take that position over on the new spin-off series, "Dancing With the Stars: Juniors."

On the show's official Twitter account, a video to introduce fans to the new judging panel was posted on July 30. While those giving it their all on the original show will still be listening to Carrie Ann Inaba, Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli, the pint-sized pros and competitors will instead be hearing critiques from some other familiar faces that have appeared in the franchise.

Choreographer Mandy Moore, who has staged some of the show's most memorable opening numbers and group performances, pro Val Chmerkovskiy, and current reigning champ Adam Rippon will be serving as the judges on the new show. Their seated positions in the video seem to suggest that Val will be assuming Len's role as Head Judge, while Adam and Mandy will fill in for the roles that Carrie Ann and Bruno have held.

It's unclear if Val's role on the show means he is done performing as a pro on the original series, because "Juniors" will be taped entirely in advance, meaning his commitment to the show could be over before work on Season 27 of "Dancing With the Stars" officially begins.

Similarly, several other pros who have graced the "Dancing With the Stars" ballroom floor in recent seasons are involved in the Juniors spin-off, in advisory roles as "mentors" for the young pros and celebrity contestants. It was previously revealed that Witney Carson, Cheryl Burke, Lindsay Arnold, Emma Slater, Jenna Johnson, Hayley Ebert, Artem Chigvintsev, Gleb Savchenko, Sasha Farber, Keo Motsepe, Alan Bersten and Brandon Armstrong would serve in those roles as mentors.

As for the crop of pros and kids competing, it was also previously reported that junior dancers Rylee Arnold, Hailey Bills, Brightyn Brems, Artyon Celestine, JT Church, Tristan Ianeiro, Lev Khemelev, Jake Monreal, Kamri Peterson, Sage Rosen and "Dance Moms" star Eliana Walmsley would all be tackling the pro jobs and teaching competitors to dance.

Among those who have been rumored (but not confirmed by ABC) to be competing on the show are Alana "Honey Boo-Boo" Thompson, "Black-ish" star Miles Brown, "Avengers: Infinity War" star Ariana Greenblatt and Scottie and Larsa Pippen's daughter, Sophia Pippen, are all performing on the show.

"Dancing With The Stars: Juniors" premieres Sunday, Oct. 7 at 8 p.m. EDT on ABC.
