Dancing With The Stars season 33 won't air on November 5, but it will return the following week on November 12. Dancing With The Stars season 33 welcomed back co-hosts Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough, along with the judges, Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough, and Bruno Tonioli. The season began with 13 contestants and their professional partners, including eliminated dancers Anna Delvey and Ezra Sosa, Tori Spelling and Pasha Pashkov, Eric Roberts and Britt Stewart, Reginald VelJohnson and Emma Slater, Brooks Nader and Gleb Savchenko, Phaedra Parks and Valentin Chmerkovskiy, and Jenn Tran and Sasha Farber.
Dancing With The Stars season 33 currently has six remaining couples competing. They are Danny Amendola and Witney Carson, Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson, Dwight Howard and Daniella Karagach, Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong, Ilona Maher and Alan Bersten, and Stephen Nedoroscik and Rylee Arnold. So far, they've made it through several different theme nights, including Oscars, Soul Train, Hair Metal, Dedication, Disney, and Halloween Nightmares. They've also survived the team dances and the dance-offs. Here's why Dancing With The Stars won't air on November 5, and when it will return.
Why Isn't Dancing With The Stars Season 33 On Tonight?
ABC Is Covering The United States Presidential Election
Dancing With The Stars season 33 isn't airing tonight, November 5, because of ABC's coverage of the United States presidential election. All of ABC's usual programming will be interrupted beginning at 7 p.m. ET for its special "Election Night 2024: Your Voice/Your Vote" coverage. Alfonso made this announcement at the end of the October 29 Halloween Nightmares episode.

When Does Dancing With The Stars Season 33 Return?
Dancing With The Stars Season 33 Will Celebrate The Show's 500th Episode
Dancing With The Stars season 33 will return on November 12 for the reality dance competition series' 500th episode. The show will celebrate the show's incredible milestone by paying tribute to its storied past. In addition, Alfonso announced on the October 29 episode of the show that the remaining contestants--Danny, Joey, Dwight, Chandler, Ilona, and Stephen--will be challenged like never before with an all-new Instant Dance challenge.
During the Instant Dance Challenge, the contestants won't know the dance style or song for their routine until about five minutes before they have to perform it live. In addition to this round of competition, each couple will perform a dance style and song from a classic Dancing With The Stars routine from the past 32 seasons. Both of these rounds of competition will be challenging yet invigorating for the contestants. It's amazing that Dancing With The Stars has made it to 500 episodes, so this will surely be a legendary night of nostalgia and spectacular dance routines.
