This season's biggest addition is Tyra Banks. The "America's Next Top Model" icon is taking over hosting duties from Tom Bergeron, who has hosted "DWTS" since season 1. Co-host Erin Andrews also departed ahead of season 29.

On top of that, six-time Mirror Ball trophy winner Derek Hough is switching things up this season by joining the judging panel alongside Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli. Len Goodman will take part in a "different capacity" from the United Kingdom.

During the season, all participants will live apart -- including the dance pros who are married to each other -- to prevent the elimination of multiple pairs should the member of one pair get sick. All participants also relocated to Los Angeles, where "DWTS" is filmed, for the duration of the season to eliminate any travel.
