'Dancing With The Stars' Season 21 Cast & Premiere: 'The Bachelorette' Star Kaitlyn Bristowe To Join ABC Reality TV Show?

The upcoming 21st season of "Dancing With the Stars (DWTS)" may see the latest "The Bachelorette" star Kaitlyn Bristowe. According to Yibada, the creators of "Dancing With the Stars" want to tap Bristowe in the upcoming season because they want the cast to be diverse. ABC is also hopeful that Bristowe's inclusion into the show can boost the ratings of "DWTS."

Prior to joining "The Bachelorette," Bristowe reportedly worked as a dance instructor, so being on "Dancing With the Stars" wouldn't necessarily be a new experience for her. If she were to say yes to the opportunity, Bristowe wouldn't be the first contestant from "The Bachelor" franchise to join the cast. In Season 20, Chris Soules also starred on the show and was paired up with professional dancer Witney Carson, Master Herald reported.

Meanwhile, there are also some speculations that Bristowe will be taking the place of Caitlyn Jenner this season. According to multiple sources, Jenner declined to be part of the show because she believes it will just cause her too much stress. Although the reality TV star didn't speak negatively of the show, Jenner reportedly said that she believes it's not the right platform for her.

Meanwhile, there are also rumors that "Dancing With the Stars" Season 21 may include returning contestant Rob Kardashian or one of her sisters, Khloe Kardashian. Other possible contestants may include "Glee" alum Chris Colfer, singer Ricky Martin, Amanda Bynes, Amber Rose, Jamie Chung and more.

Some publications are also hinting on the possibility of Demi Moore joining the reality dance competition. Back in Season 20, Moore's daughter Rumer Willis won the Mirror Ball Trophy with her partner Val Chmerkovskiy. As of late, not one cast member has been confirmed to star on the show.

"Dancing With the Stars" Season 21 will premiere on ABC in the fall. The upcoming season will no longer feature Len Goodman as one of its judges.
