'Dancing With The Stars' Season 28 Premiere Date Announced; Val Chmerkovskiy Will Return!

The premiere date for the new season of Dancing With The Stars was just announced!

Season 28 of the popular reality competition show is set to return on Monday, September 16th @ 8PM ET/PT on ABC – and one pro is super excited – Val Chmerkovskiy!

“The show that gave me the stage I could’ve only dreamed of is back this fall and I cannot wait to get out there again,” he wrote on Instagram this week. “‘I like to dance, but I love to help’… and I cannot wait to do both on this awesome project I think a lot of us, at times, took for granted.”

Val continued, “To all our fans, get comfy on your couch Monday nights this fall, we’re coming over! :) #DWTS #imissedyall.”

The show took a long break after season 27 last year, where radio personality Bobby Bones and pro Sharna Burgess won the mirrored-ball trophy.

If you missed it, Val just recently married fellow pro and longtime love, Jenna Johnson.
