Executive Producer Rob Wade talked to People for why they asked Derek, Cheryl Burke, and Maks Chmerkovskiy back to the ballroom. It was “about bringing people – and America – together through dance”. Awesome. Here is more….

“When we knew had interest from Cheryl, Maks and Derek to come back, we felt strongly that the people we paired them with would be really suitable to them,” says Wade.

It’s only been one season since Hough won his sixth Mirrorball trophy (with Bindi Irwin on season 21), but Chmerkovskiy and Burke have not competed on the show since seasons 18 and 19, respectively.

“”This season is about bringing people – and America – together through dance,” says Wade. “And I think having Maks, Cheryl and Derek coming back to the family is a very important part of that.”

“It wasn’t easy because they have other opportunities, but they all love the show and are stoked to be coming back,” adds Wade. “I think it’s going to make for a really interesting season.”
