Development[]
Dancing with the Stars 29th season premiered 14 September 2020 in its usual Mondays-at-8 time slot.
ABC was looking to bring back Christie Brinkley for this season and get Charlie Sheen, who rejected their offer to participate in the previous season.[3]
Producers revealed in March that a same-sex couple would dance in the competition this season. The U.K.'s Strictly Come Dancing would also feature a same-sex couple in its next season, while the Australian version had already had one in its last season.[4] This plan was changed and did not happen until the following season.
The premiere date was announced on 18 August 2020.
Cast[]
During The Bachelor: Greatest Seasons - Ever!, Season 11's Bachelorette, Kaitlyn Bristowe, was announced as the first participant.
Singer AJ McLean was announced as the second participant by ET.[5]
Soap opera actress Anne Heche, Desperate Housewives actor Jesse Metcalfe, and American football player Vernon Davis were leaked as official contestants by US Weekly.[6]
The rest of the celebrities were revealed during Good Morning America on 2 September 2020.[7]
The celebrities' partners were not revealed until the premiere on 14 September 2020.
Jeannie Mai was forced to withdraw on 2 November 2020 after being diagnosed with epiglottis. [8]
Professionals[]
Lindsay Arnold is pregnant and is due to give birth in November and therefore not be a pro this season. Witney Carson is also pregnant and is due to give birth in January and therefore not be a pro this season.
The professional dancers were announced on Good Morning America on 18 August 2020.
Sharna Burgess and Artem Chigvintsev are returning after missing last season.[9][10]
Britt Stewart and Daniella Karagach have been promoted to pros.

Dance-offs
- Because Nev and Johnny have the highest scores in week 8, the tiebreaker was cumulative points over the season, which resulted in Nev winning immunity from dance-off.
- For each dance-off, the couple with the highest remaining score picked the opponent against whom they wanted to dance; the chosen opponent was allowed to pick the dance style (cha-cha-cha, jive, or salsa).
- The winner of each dance-off will earn two bonus points. The general public helped to determine the winner of each dance-off via the show's official website voting with the judges score.
