Lindsay Arnold is back after making it to the finals with her Season 24 partner, David Ross. Last season, Emma Slater and her partner, Rashad Jennings, won the Mirrorball trophy — she'll be back on the dance floor again this season.
We're not surprised to see Val Chmerkovskiy back this season. And the competition will once again heat up between Val and his brother, Maks who will be back along with his wife, Peta Murgatroyd.
Fans will also see pros Sharna Burgess, Keo Motsepe, Artem Chigvintsev, Gleb Savchenko, and Witney Carson partnered up with a celebrity dancer when "Dancing with the Stars" season 25 premieres on September 18.

Celebrity cast
Fans won't find out which celebrities will be on "Dancing with the Stars" until the September 6 reveal on "Good Morning America."
However, there are a few rumors that have been confirmed by several major news outlets. Although ABC has the final word, Entertainment Tonight reports HGTV star Drew Scott "Property Brothers") and WWE wrestler Nikki Bella will be competing for the show's 25th Mirrorball trophy.
There are usually more cast leaks prior to the start of the season. ABC is doing a good job keeping the DWTS Season 25 celebrity cast under wraps!
