On September 24, 2018, season 27 of Dancing with the Stars premiered on the ABC network. This season’s lineup included Bachelorette contestant Joe Amabile, Fuller House’s Juan Pablo Di Pace, model Alexis Ren, Olympic skier Danelle Umstead, and radio personality Bobby Bones.

After a night of twirling, gyrating, and foxtrotting, five couples were in jeopardy of being eliminated. These couples were tasked with creating a new routine featuring the same dance style they performed on Monday’s show.

The ABC network will also be airing a spinoff of Dancing with the Stars on October 7.  This spinoff called Dancing with the Stars Juniors will feature celebrity kids such as Stuck in the Middle actress Ariana Greenblatt and Miles Brown of Blackish. 

Dancing with the Stars season 27 contestant, Evanna Lynch, remarked, “I just want to show people that anyone can dance. Anything’s possible and you just have to go for it.”
