Dancing With the Stars Season 33 Cast: Tori Spelling, Phaedra Parks, Ex-Con Anna Delvey, Bachelor Alums and More
A former Traitor, an ex-convict, two U.S. Olympians and Donna Martin herself are among those in pursuit of a freshly polished Mirrorball trophy.
The full cast of Dancing With the Stars Season 33 was unveiled on Good Morning America on Wednesday, two weeks after Olympic gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik was named the new season’s first celebrity contestant. And Nedoroscik, as it turns out, won’t be the only beloved Olympian in the ballroom: Ilona Maher, who took home a bronze medal in women’s rugby at the Paris games this summer, also hopes to cha-cha her way to victory in the fall.

Perhaps the most surprising name on the roster is Anna Delvey (aka Anna Sorokin), the convicted con artist who scammed New York’s upper-class social scene a few years back and was later portrayed by Julia Garner in the Netflix miniseries Inventing Anna. She’ll be dancing with first-time pro Ezra Sosa, making his debut as a professional partner this season after several years in the Dancing troupe.
Elsewhere on this year’s cast list, you’ve got the usual suspects: reality TV stars (The Traitors‘ Phaedra Parks), actors (Beverly Hills, 90210‘s Tori Spelling, Family Matters‘ Reginald VelJohnson) and more athletes (the NFL’s Danny Amendola, the NBA’s Dwight Howard). Plus, in a Dancing twist, two Bachelor Nation alumni will compete on the same season, with The Bachelor‘s Joey Graziadei and recent Bachelorette lead Jenn Tran both joining this cycle. (Tran is coming off an unexpected end to her Bachelorette season, which wrapped on Tuesday night… and now she gets to do group dances with a different ex-boyfriend! While Kelsey watches!)
Dancing With the Stars returns for Season 33 on Tuesday, Sept. 17, at 8/7c on ABC and Disney+. Co-hosts Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough will be back for the new episodes, as will judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli.
