[15] Television advertisements for the season featured Emma Slater, Sasha Farber, Daniella Karagach, Pasha Pashkov, Britt Stewart, Alan Bersten, Rylee Arnold, and Brandon Armstrong. [16] Former troupe member Ezra Sosa was promoted to pro, as initially reported by entertainment journalist Kristyn Burtt and later confirmed by GLAAD. [17] [18] He is the first Latino professional dancer to be featured on the series in over a decade. [19]
After originally being scheduled to be in the troupe, Farber was announced as a professional dancer on the Good Morning America cast reveal.

[17] Peta Murgatroyd chose to take the season off following the birth of her third child.

ABC preempted a second original episode of Dancing with the Stars to avoid conflicts with the U.S. presidential election and related elections, all held on November 5, 2024. It returned the following week. [66]
To celebrate the 500th episode of Dancing with the Stars, in the first round, each couple reinterpreted a memorable dance from a previous season. The second round was the Instant Dance Challenge, in which they had approximately five minutes to choreograph and learn a new dance before performing it live. Although the assigned dance styles and songs were not known beforehand by the couples, they were told that it would be one of four dance styles they had performed earlier in the season.
The opening number was choreographed by Pasha Pashkov and Daniella Karagach to "Crazy in Love" by Beyoncé featuring Jay-Z, the same song that opened the first season of Dancing with the Stars. It featured special appearances from Derek Hough, Julianne Hough, and Sharna Burgess. [67]
