As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, judge Len Goodman announced in 2014 in an interview with the Daily Star that Season 20 would be his last. True to his word, he will not return for Season 21.

“Len will not be returning as a judge this season on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ due to his schedule as a judge on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ in the UK and the birth of his new grandson,” “DWTS” Executive Producer Rob Wade said in a statement. “He still might be involved in the season at some capacity, but we will have to wait and see. We are planning on having great guest judges for some shows to join Bruno [Tonioli], Carrie Ann [Inaba] and Julianne [Hough], and I’m sure we will see Len in the ballroom again soon.

The Season 21 celebrity cast will be announced on September 2 on “GMA,” with the premiere set for Monday, September 14 at 8 PM ET/PT.
