On August 22, 2024, Stephen Nedoroscik was the first celebrity participant announced for the season.[4] Anna Delvey joined the cast on August 30, as initially reported by Page Six; Deadline Hollywood, The Independent, and Vanity Fair confirmed the report the following day.[5][6] Although Delvey is currently under house arrest in East Village, Manhattan and facing deportation, she was granted permission from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to travel to Los Angeles as her confinement terms were recently relaxed.[7][8] Jenn Tran joined the cast immediately following the season 21 finale of The Bachelorette.[9] The full roster of celebrity participants and their partnerships was announced on September 4, via Good Morning America.[10] Nedoroscik and Ilona Maher are the first athletes from their respective disciplines, men's artistic gymnastics and rugby sevens, to compete in the series.[11][12] Delvey is the first to wear an ankle monitor while competing.[13]
Three days after Lindsay Arnold confirmed that she would not be returning as a professional dancer,[14] Witney Carson announced on Good Morning America that she would return to the lineup after taking the previous season off.[15] Television advertisements for the season featured Emma Slater, Sasha Farber, Daniella Karagach, Pasha Pashkov, Britt Stewart, Alan Bersten, Rylee Arnold, and Brandon Armstrong.[16] Former troupe member Ezra Sosa was promoted to pro, as initially reported by entertainment journalist Kristyn Burtt and later confirmed by GLAAD.[17][18] He is the first Latino professional dancer to be featured on the series in over a decade.[19]
After originally being scheduled to be in the troupe, Farber was announced as a professional dancer on the Good Morning America cast reveal.[20] He and Tran learned that they would be partnered together approximately 45 minutes before they boarded a flight to New York City.[9] Burtt also shared with Cheryl Burke that Jenna Johnson and the reigning champion Valentin Chmerkovskiy were slated to return; Koko Iwasaki will not.[17] Peta Murgatroyd chose to take the season off following the birth of her third child.[21] Artem Chigvintsev was not set to be a part of the cast when news broke of his arrest in Napa County, California, for felony domestic violence against his wife, Nikki Garcia.[22]

Week 7: 500th Episode
ABC preempted a second original episode of Dancing with the Stars to avoid conflicts with the U.S. presidential election and related elections, all held on November 5, 2024. It returned the following week.[66]
To celebrate the 500th episode of Dancing with the Stars, in the first round, each couple reinterpreted a memorable dance from a previous season. The second round was the Instant Dance Challenge, in which they had approximately five minutes to choreograph and learn a new dance before performing it live. Although the assigned dance styles and songs were not known beforehand by the couples, they were told that it would be one of four dance styles they had performed earlier in the season.
The opening number was choreographed by Pasha Pashkov and Daniella Karagach to "Crazy in Love" by Beyoncé featuring Jay-Z, the same song that opened the first season of Dancing with the Stars. It featured special appearances from Derek Hough, Julianne Hough, and Sharna Burgess.[67]
