"Dancing with the Stars" season 21 cast will be hitting the small screens soon, and it looks like it will be featuring an epic list of celebrity participants.
According to the rumor mill, next season's star dancers will include a former boy band member and a "Spy Kids" star.
Hollywood Life has exclusively learned that the next season of "DWTS" will be featuring the dancing chops of "Backstreet Boys" member Nick Carter. Alexa PenaVega of the "Spy Kids" franchise will also reportedly grace the dance floor.
The very first celebrity "Dancing with the Stars" season 21 candidate to be announced was Bindi Irwin.
Carter, PenaVega, and Irwin will all surely spice up the "Dancing with the Stars" season 21 cast. After all, Carter is no stranger when it comes to dancing as he had first entered the entertainment industry via one of the greatest boy bands of all time. Apart from being part of "DWTS," he is also quite busy filming a TV movie for SyFy, "Dead 7," with his former band mates AJ McLean and Howie Dorough.
PenaVega, meanwhile, started to become famous when she was cast as Carmen Cortez in "Spy Kids." She also has a recurring role on ABC's "Nashville" as Kylie Brenner. Plus, just last year, she had a minor role in "The Tomorrow People," which aired on The CW. She is now married to Carlos Pena, Jr., the star of "Big Time Rush."
Although the "Dancing with the Stars" season 21 cast looks promising - even with only three celebrity names tied to it so far - one particular series regular will no longer be part of it.
Len Goodman, a longtime judge of the highly watched dance show, had already confirmed that he will not be returning for the 21st season of "DWTS." Fortunately, Carrie Ann Inaba, Julianne Hough, and Bruno Tonioli will all still be there on the judges' panel.
