It has only been a few weeks since the finale of "Dancing With The Stars" but as early as now, viewers and fans are already excited on who's in season 22. Read on to find out the latest personalities joining in the dancing fray.

NFL's own Rashad Jennings is interested in becoming a part of the show. In an interview with TMZ, the 30-year-old running back says he would consider putting his dancing shoes on once his football days are over.

Jennings says he has been in talks with people from ABC. "I think it's going to end up happening," Jennings said.

"We're going to hold off a couple more days because I'm going to have a conversation shortly, but we'll see."

Wet Paint says the football player has big shoes to fill as fellow athletes such as Hines Ward, Donald Driver and Emmitt Smith have all won the coveted Mirror Ball.

Bindi Irwin took home the award for season 21. Reports by Realty Today reveal that there had been an interest in recruiting her younger brother, 12-year-old Robert Irwin, as a competitor in one of the show's future seasons.

Critics claim that the male Irwin may be too young to join the show.

Derek Hough, the other half of the award-winning dance team, may not be joining season 22. Hough appears to be undecided in coming back for another round of "Dancing With The Stars."

During an interview with E! Online, Hough stated, "I don't know, who knows, I have to say this isn't a bad way to go out."

Hough is a crowd favorite, competing for a total of 16 seasons and winning six.

Sharna Burgess, Nick Carter's pro dancing partner confirmed that she is coming back to DWTS. The Burgess-Carter came in second place during season 22.

Burgess says she is joining the DWTS nationwide tour to meet some of the show's fans and admits she loves live dancing.

Long-time judge Len Goodman has also confirmed that he is coming back for Season 22.

On Twitter, the candid judge confirmed his return stating, "Back on DWTS season 22. So nice people are welcoming me back."

"Be careful what you wish for," the judge concluded his post on social media.

Goodman had a stern message for the show's dance experts. In a YouTube video, the judge remarked, "Len is coming back next season."

"And I don't want any of your nonsense."


Season 22 of 'Dancing With The Stars' will begin on March 21, 2016, with a two-hour premiere.
