Season 29 was the return of the dance competition after a long hiatus. It was announced hosts Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews were replaced by Banks. Len Goodman also wouldn’t be back to judge due to travel restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The season ended with Kaitlyn Bristowe and Artem Chigvintsev winning the trophy. Banks answered whether she wanted to return to host again.

Banks told Entertainment Tonight that she “might get up to 30” outfits if she hosts again. She also named Colin Kaepernick as her dream contestant. But she still didn’t know if she’d return.

“I don’t know. We shall see! I don’t know,” she said. “I had a good time. We’ll see.” Now we know the answer.

Which judges are returning for ‘Dancing with the Stars’ Season 30?

ABC has announced which hosts and judges will be returning for the new season. Banks will return to host. 

The judges will be Goodman, Derek Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba, and Bruno Tonioli, according to Entertainment Tonight. This is good news for fans who missed Goodman last season.

Sadly, fans will have to wait to find out when the season will premiere and which celebrities will be competing. Fans are already sharing their reactions to the news.

The official Instagram account for Dancing With the Stars posted the show will be back in the fall. Fans showed they’re still hoping the cast will change back.

“Tom and Erin back please!!! I want the show to be about the dancers and stars again, not a fashion show with many fumbles,” one fan commented. “Please NO Tyra! She ruined the show last season!!” wrote another fan.

It doesn’t look like Bergeron has moved on to hosting anything else. But he still seems to be very supportive of the show. Bergeron recently revealed he is writing a novel. 

He also recently tweeted congratulations to Bindi Irwin for giving birth to her baby, and posted a picture of himself with Cheryl Burke. He captioned it with, “Shows come and go but Honorary Daughter Status is forever!(with @CherylBurke) #reunionlunch.” It looks like the former host is keeping in touch with a few dancers from the show.
