Those who have been waiting for Dancing with the Stars 19's latest news should wait no more! The new list of the pro dancers joining for the upcoming season was revealed in a segment via Good Morning America none too long ago but wait, that's not all as surprises tagged along the announcement.

The pros listed for Dancing with the Star 19 are as follows: Tony Docolani, Mark Ballas, Derek Hough, Val Chmerkovisky, Keoikantse Motsepe, Artem Chignitsev, Witney Carson, Cheryl Burke, Karina Smirnoff, Peta Murgatoyd, Allison Holker and Emma Slater.

One of the absentees in the final list was Maksim Chmerkovisky who previously stated that he is not returning to dance for the show anymore, though Rob Wade sincerely wishes he would stay. However, there have been hints that Chmerkovisky may come back in a different way: as a guest judge. This may be because Len Goodman will not be in the judges roster for season 19.

Though there has been no absolute final list of the celebrity cast rumor flying around, ABC states that this season we will be seeing the likes of Kyle Richards, James Storm, Tim Howards, Landon Donovan, Andi Dorfman and Kandu Burruss on the stage.

However the cast aren't the only ones that had loosen up some jaws.

Another Dancing with the Star 19 latest news involve a bit of a shake up with the show line-up such as a partner and guest judge switch and night results to be held in the first two weeks of the competition. Talk about a tough season.

Dancing with the Stars 19 will premiere on September 15 with ABC.
