Ethermac|Dancing With the Stars Season 33 Premiere Date Revealed—And It’s Sooner Than You Think

If you want to dance with somebody,Ethermac if you want to feel the heat with somebody—then you’re going to love this news. 

Indeed, Dancing with the Stars is returning this fall for its 33rd season, and the premiere is just over a month away. Hosts Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro, along with plenty of more stars, will be lacing up their dancing shoes Sept. 17 at 8 p.m. ET, and the season will air on ABC and Disney+.

In a teaser trailer shared by the competition show’s Instagram account, Alfonso, 52, and Julianne, 36, warm up the dance floor with an intricate routine alongside other Dancing with the Stars pros. And although the celebrity cast members have yet to be announced, ABC confirmed that judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli will reclaim their seats at the table. 

While the full cast list is not yet out, fans are already speaking their hopes for the upcoming season’s stars into existence. 

One eagle-eyed fan noted on X, formerly Twitter, that 2024 Olympic bronze medalist Stephen Nedoroscik could be in the running after mysteriously vanishing from the Gold All Over America gymnastic tour lineup—which his girlfriend Tess McCracken recently told E! News he would be prepping for after the Olympics—and later sharing on Instagram that he was headed to New York.

Although there is still a little over a month until the season premiere, the fan wondered, “Is Dancing With The Stars in Pommel Horse Guy’s future?”

Another fan is already predicting a win for the 25-year-old, adding, “Stephen Nedoroscik, Dancing With The Stars Season 33 CHAMPION—MARK IT DOWN.”

If a ballroom routine or two is in his future, Stephen would join a long list of Olympians-turned-Dancing with the Stars contestants. In fact, gymnasts are popular members of the pipeline. Team USA women’s gymnastics members Simone Biles and Suni Lee each competed on season 24 and season 30, respectively. 

And former gymnastics greats like Shawn Johnson, 32, and Laurie Hernandez, 24, are among the youngest winners of the competition show’s history. Shawn—who now shares kids Drew, 4, Jett, 2, and Barrett, 9 months, husband Andrew East—took the trophy in season 8 at 17 years old, and came back and scored runner-up for the show’s all-star season in 2012. 

For her part, Laurie is currently the youngest person to ever win the competition, nabbing the Mirrorball in season 23 at just 16 years old. 

During Laurie’s run on the show, she quickly captured audiences and impressed the judges. At one point during her season, Carrie summed up why she was a frontrunner on her season from the start. 

“You represent the American Dream,” the judge told her during a season 23 episode. “And you also represent the Dancing With the Stars dream."
