The New "DWTS" Cast Includes a "Pretty Little Liars" Star and a "Hamilton" Alum
Whoa. There is a lot going on in the “Dancing with the Stars” Season 25 crop of celebs, just announced on “Good Morning America.”
First: While it seems like many “DWTS” stars are chosen with people our moms’ age in mind, this time around, there are two younger talents we’re legit excited about. They’d be Sasha Pieterse, aka queen bee Alison from a tiny TV show you may’ve heard of, “Pretty Little Liars”; and Jordan Fisher, who was a huge standout in “Grease: Live” and made his Broadway debut last fall in Hamilton (NBD).
Also, Nick Lachey—frontman of ’90s boy band sensation 98 degrees, former husband of Jessica Simpson, brother of “DWTS” Season 2 champ Drew Lachey—will be going head to head with his current wife, Vanessa Lachey. The kicker? Nick’s paired with Peta Murgatroyd, and Vanessa’s teamed with Murgatroyd’s brand-new husband, Maks Chmerkovskiy. It’s the kind of showdown that’s either going to be too cute for words or get pretty ugly, pretty quickly.
Here’s the rest of the cast and their pro partners. Tune in to ABC on September 18 to see them shimmy in their bedazzled best!
