The Mirrorball trophy is again in play as Season 33 of “Dancing with the Stars” kicks off tonight.
Among the cast who will be learning to samba, jive, and rumba their way to the top of the leaderboard is fake heiress and convicted con artist Anna Delvey, who will compete on the season with the permission of ICE as she’s still under house arrest and wearing an ankle monitor.
You can also expect to see a handful of athletes, actors, and reality TV personalities competing this year.
Hosting duo Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribiero are back for the new season, and there won’t be any changes behind the judge’s table either — Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough, and Bruno Tonioli are all back, too.
New episodes will air live on ABC and Disney+, and right now, Disney+ has an offer going on that’ll save you $18 on three months of streaming — enough to watch the entire season.
“Dancing with the Stars” Season 33 premieres tonight, September 17, at 8:00 p.m. ET.
New episodes come out every Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. ET. However, ABC has tweaked their broadcast schedule to account for the vice presidential debate set for Tuesday, October 1. “Dancing with the Stars” will not air that night and a two-night event will air the following week on October 7 and 8 instead.
The best way to stream “Dancing with the Stars” is with a Disney+ subscription, since the series airs simultaneously on ABC and Disney+. Right now, Disney+ is running a deal to get three months of its ad-supported plan for $1.99/month. The deal period is likely perfect timing to be able to stream the entire season of “Dancing with the Stars” for about $6 total.
After the three-month promo period ends, your subscription will revert to the standard basic price of $9.99/month.
Since “Dancing with the Stars” also airs on ABC, you can watch episodes live using a free trial of a live TV streaming service. We love DIRECTV Stream, which offers five days free before payment begins.
You won’t be able to stream the entire season for free, but you’ll get the premiere episode for free, at least.
ABC hasn’t confirmed how many episodes will be in Season 33 of “Dancing with the Stars,” but last year’s season ran for 11 episodes, wrapping up on December 5. It’s likely this season will have a similar timeline, though this season has two less dancers than the last.
