Cast
Couples
On August 26, 2021, during the virtual Television Critics Association summer press tour, it was revealed that Suni Lee and JoJo Siwa would be celebrity participants.[4] On September 1, it was reported that Olivia Jade, Amanda Kloots, and Matt James would join them.[5][6] Before the cast was officially revealed, TMZ reported that The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kenya Moore,[7] NBA player Iman Shumpert,[8] and actor Brian Austin Green[9] would also compete. Mike "The Miz" Mizanin,[10] Jimmie Allen,[11] and Christine Chiu[12] were also reported to be competing. The full roster of celebrity participants were officially revealed on Good Morning America on September 8.[13][14]
The season's 15 professional dancers, announced on September 2, had all performed on the show before, with Lindsay Arnold and Witney Carson returning after pregnancies.[15] The lineup dropped Peta Murgatroyd and Keo Motsepe, who had competed in the previous season.[16] For the first time in the series' history, one of the couples was same-sex:[17] pansexual celebrity participant Siwa and professional dancer Jenna Johnson.[18][19]
On September 10, 2021, it was announced that Sofia Ghavami and Ezra Sosa would be joining the show as professional dancers. Both dancers were showcased as part of the competing couples' dances throughout the season as well as opening numbers, and were also prepared to step in if a pro were unable to compete.[20]
On September 26, professional dancer Cheryl Burke announced that she had tested positive for COVID-19 before the season's second episode and had to stay home and quarantine for 10 days.[21] In the episode, Burke and her celebrity partner Cody Rigsby were judged on rehearsal footage.[22] Rigsby tested positive for COVID-19 a few days later, though the two continued to compete, dancing together via live feed in their respective homes during week three.[23] As of October 6, Burke was cleared to return to the ballroom, and Rigsby returned in-person during the first "Disney Week" episode.[24]

Hosts and judges
Alongside the season renewal announcement on March 30, 2021, it was revealed that Tyra Banks would return as host, with Len Goodman, Derek Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba, and Bruno Tonioli returning as judges.[34] For this season, each of the four judges was allowed a single vote on which dancer they would like to save. In the event of a tie vote amongst the four judges, Len's vote was considered the tie-breaker. This rule change has caused some controversy in the way it's been explained on the show, as many saw this as Len having an unfair advantage in determining which dancer is eliminated.[35] On November 16, a day after the semi-finals, Hough announced that he tested positive with a breakthrough case of COVID-19.[36] On November 22, 2021, it was announced Julianne Hough would fill in for her brother Derek as a guest judge for the finale.[37]
