TikTok star Charli D’Amelio is joining the season 31 cast of Dancing with the Stars alongside her mother, Heidi.

The mother-daughter duo will compete for the mirror ball trophy in the upcoming season of the reality dance competition series, which is set to premiere on Disney+ in September. The D’Amelios are just two of the contestants set to appear on the upcoming DWTS season.

ABC announced in April that they would be moving the long-running series to Disney+ after over a decade on network television. “The show’s broad appeal, as well as the overwhelming popularity of its Disney-themed competition nights, make Disney+ the perfect home for Dancing With the Stars while continuing to expand our demographic reach,” Disney Media and Entertainment Distribution chairman Kareem Daniel said in a statement at the time.

“As we’re significantly expanding our unscripted slate at ABC, this is a great opportunity to introduce this show to a whole new generation of fans on Disney+,” Walt Disney Chairman of Entertainment Dana Walden added in the press release.

Both the judges and pro dancers have voiced their support of the show’s move to Disney+ and are excited for the next chapter. Pro dancer Cheryl Burke shared: “It’s an exciting new chapter for the show and for the streaming world in general. Now the west coast can vote in real-time. I’m excited for the show possibilities over at Disney+ and am daydreaming about how we’re going t pull off quick changes and set changes with no commercial breaks!”

Dancing With the Stars season 31 will premiere on Monday, September 19 on Disney+.
