The promo also introduces viewers to the show’s new host, Tyra Banks. The former America’s Got Talent emcee is replacing former hosts Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews, who were reportedly fired from the show in July.
In the video, Tyra appears via video chat, saying, “You never know what happens on live TV, but you need to get ready. It is gonna be so next level.” Other than this, the promo only contains footage from past episodes of the show.

Producers were also thinking about inviting Christie Brinkley back after she had to leave last season due to an injury.
According to ET, pro dancers Lindsay Arnold and Witney Carson will sit this season out, as they’re both pregnant. And as for the judges? Carrie Ann Inaba recently shared that she, Bruno Tonioli, and Len Goodman are expected to return. “I just want everybody to know Len, Bruno and I — that is the plan that we’re coming back,” she said on The Talk.
