DWTS Season 30 Cast: The Bachelor's Matt James, The Office's Melora Hardin, Brian Austin Green, The Miz And More
Will the Mirrorball trophy remain in Bachelor Nation for a third consecutive year?
ABC on Wednesday unveiled Dancing With the Stars' full Season 30 cast, which includes Matt James, face of The Bachelor's 25th season earlier this year. James' professional partner won't be announced until the Sept. 20 season premiere (8/7c), but if he does snag that Mirrorball, he'd succeed onetime Bachelorette stars Hannah Brown and Kaitlyn Bristowe, who won Season 28 and 29, respectively.
The Season 30 roster features several other reality TV personalities, including The Real Housewives of Atlanta's Kenya Moore, Bling Empire's Christine Chiu and The Challenge's Mike "The Miz" Mizanin. On the acting side, The Office's Melora Hardin and Beverly Hills, 90210's Brian Austin Green — the latter of whom is dating DWTS pro Sharna Burgess — made the cut, as did Cobra Kai's Martin Kove.
NBA player Iman Shumpert, who previously won a championship with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016, is among the pro athletes vying for the Mirrorball this season. Plus, rounding out the cast are Peloton instructor Cody Rigsby, country singer Jimmie Allen, former Spice Girl Melanie "Mel C" Chisholm, social media influencer Olivia Jade and The Talk co-host Amanda Kloots, all of whom join previously announced competitors JoJo Siwa and Suni Lee.
Dancing With the Stars will once again feature Tyra Banks as host, while the judging quartet of Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, Len Goodman and Derek Hough will return, as well.
