Now that Dancing with the Stars (DTWS) Season 20 has officially wrapped up, there are already talks about who will be in the DTWS Season 21 Cast.  So far, this is what we can say about the Dancing with the Stars Season 21 Cast, Premiere Date, Rumors, and Predictions. 

One rumor that has arisen on the Pure DWTS site is that Marilu Henner could be joining the cast.  On a recent interview on The Today Show, she was asked about Dancing with the Stars, and she said: "I don't know...we'll see?"  Marilu Henner has been in many films, but is often best known for her role on the TV show Taxi

No one has more rumors about the Cast of Season 21's Dancing With The Stars than International Business Times.  One big name that has been dropped is Bruce Jenner.  Considering that he has been in the spotlight a lot lately since his transgender announcement, it would be surprising if he appeared on this show.  However, there are already rumors on the Hollywood Reporter that both competitive dancers Derek Hough and Mark Ballas are vying to be Bruce's dance partner.  Considering that traditionally, different genders are matched with the stars and competitors, this would be a first. 

Speaking of stars of the Keeping up with the Kardashians, there is a rumor that Rob Kardashian, who finished in second place during season 13 of DTWS, could be back for a "one night only" appareance, according to Radar Online

Another rumored star could be Britt Nilsson.  Yes, she did not win when competing on Season 19 of The Bachelor, but they kept her around for this year's The Bachelorette.  Of course, she was kind of eliminated again from that, so perhaps she could join up on DWTS in the Fall, joining the ranks of many The Bachelor alums like Melissa Rycroft, Chris Soules, and Sean Lowe. 

Then there are other names like Keke Palmer, who could easily win considering her music career and acting from True Jackson, VP.  Then there is a rumor of Stephanie Courtney.  In case you are not aware, Stephanie Courtney is better known as Flo, that Progressive Insurance agent from those many, many commercials.  Yeah, let's see how she fares on the dance floor.

The one thing that DWTS Season 21 viewers may not see is Len Goodman.  He has specifically stated that he would be out after Season 20, but executive producer Rob Wade told E! News that it is still a possibility to have him back. 

Season 21 looks to be interesting for Fall 2015 of Dancing with the Stars, but the premiere date for it has yet to be announced, according to When Will.  Keep in mind, that these predictions listed above always have to be taken with that inevitable grain of salt.  After all, the only Dancing with the Stars prediction cast that we got right last season was Rumer Willis, but I will have you know that she did, in fact, win Season 20 of DWTS.
