Big changes are coming for Dancing with the Stars!

We're still waiting for the premiere date, but ABC is giving a sneak peek into the celebs we'll see competing when the Emmy-winning reality series returns this fall for Season 32.

Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix will be strutting her stuff in the ballroom. 

Madix and returning DWTS judge Derek Hough announced the news this morning on Good Morning America.

This season's pros haven't been revealed yet so we'll have to wait to bit to see who she's paired with.

The full celebrity cast will be released on Good Morning America on Sept. 13.

Watch the celebrity reveal below.

Landing the Bravo star is somewhat of a surprise. Disney typically fills the DWTS roster with stars who have ties to the House of Mouse. (When was the last season that didn't have a Bachelor or Bachelorette star?)

But Bravo's Vanderpump Rules is hot right now! Madix first joined the series in Season 2 and has been a main cast member since Season 3.

You can't look at social media threads without seeing #Scandoval (ground zero for scoop on the cheating scandal between co-stars Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss that destroyed a 9-year-long relationship with Madix.

The new celebrity dancers won't be the only changes when the series returns this fall.

Amid a flurry of behind-the-scenes changes, we'll see Alfonso Ribeiro step in as host, replacing Tyra Banks who consistently drew criticism during her three seasons leading the series.

The Fresh Prince star will be joined by new co-host Julianne Hough.

This will also be the first season without longtime head judge Len Goodman who retired at the end of Season 31 and died in April after a battle with bone cancer.

We're definitely going to miss Len's witty British wisecracks and his diehard dedication to each dance style.

Dancing with the Stars also makes its linear broadcast return to ABC after two seasons streaming exclusively on Disney+.

Season 32 of Dancing with the Stars will air Mondays on ABC and Disney Plus and be available the next day on Hulu.
