Here Is Your "DWTS" Season 22 Cast

March 8, 2016


Obviously, we’re loving us some ballroom these days (have you SEEN our gorgeous April cover?). So we’re especially excited that the new season of “Dancing with the Stars” is about to shimmy its way onscreen. And yesterday, we found out the full list of celebs and pros who’ll be donning their sequined best and competing for the 22nd (!!) “DWTS” mirrorball trophy.

OK, yes, it’s true: Derek Hough is not among them. (We’ll miss you, bro.) But this season’s pro roster does feature plenty of our other faves—Witney! Peta! Keo! Val! EDYTA!—and the star lineup includes a boy band alum, a “Fuller House” sweetheart, a UFC fighter, a long-lost “O.C.” cast member and no fewer than three NFL legends.

Without further ado, here’s your Season 22 “DWTS” cast:

Mischa Barton
