Xochitl Gomez is heading to the ballroom…
The 17-year-old Mexican American actress and Marvel star will compete on season 32 of Dancing with the Stars.
But Gomez won’t be the only Latinx competitor.
Venezuelan YouTuber, actress and singer Lele Pons, 27, and Mexican real estate mogul and television star Mauricio Umansky, 53, will also compete this season.
Other competitors include Mira Sorvino, Ariana Madix, Charity Lawson, Jamie Lynn Spears, Alyson Hannigan and NFL star Adrian Peterson.
“There’s something for everyone in this cast,” says executive producer Conrad Green. “What’s interesting with a lot of our contestants this year is this real drive and excitement about doing it. There’s a real passion for it. It’s been a tough number of years, one way or another with the strikes going on and all these things. So what I’m hoping we can bring to people is bringing Dancing back and giving audiences a blast of sunshine early in the week.”
After Tyra Banks‘ exit, Alfonso Ribeiro will return as a host, stepping onto the main stage, while former Dancing pro Julianne Hough joins to take over Ribeiro’s former cohost slot in the Sky Box.
The show is also back in its original home, airing live on ABC, after being solely available on Disney+ last season (where it will now stream concurrently).
