A vilified Baskin told GMA that shes looking forward to course-correcting her narrative and advocating for animal rights after being betrayed by the popular Netflix series. So its only a matter of time before shes foxtrotting to an Eye of the Tiger/Roar mashup in a heavily animal-printed get up.

The season premiere will also mark the debut of supermodel Tyra Banks, who will serve as host and executive producer. She will be taking over hosting duties from Tom Bergeron, who helmed the series for 28 seasons, and Erin Andrews. The two were ousted in a surprise announcement in July.

In a statement revealing her new roles, Banks said shes excited to continue the legacy and put on my executive producer and hosting hats with network executives, promising that shell bring a fresh take to the series.

The judging panel remains intact, with Carrie Ann Inaba, Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli returning.
