ABC announced the cast of Dancing with the Stars season 28 on Good Morning America this morning. This will be the first season since last fall, as the ballroom dancing competition skipped its spring season.

The full cast list is below, but among the cast members are several reality stars (Hannah Brown, Karamo Brown, Lauren Alaina, and Lamar Odom) and actors (James Van Der Beek, Kate Flannery, Christie Brinkley). The Supremes’ star Mary Wilson is also competing.

Also cast: Sean Spicer, Donald Trump’s first press secretary, who began his tenure by lying to the American public, but who some in liberal Hollywood clearly love. He appeared on the Emmys in 2017, and reportedly turned down DWTS that same year. He follows Celebrity Big Brother contestant Omarosa as administration members who later joined reality TV shows.

As to the show itself, which premieres in mid-September, “some changes are coming,” Tom Bergeron said, which we already knew.

But the one detail he offered was not an impressive change: While the cast was announced, their partnerships with pro dancers were not revealed. Bergeron said that will happen on the first episode.

That does not qualify as a “really fun format change.”
