Channel Seven has released the first look trailer for the 2024 season of Dancing With The Stars.
Sonia Kruger and Dr. Chris Brown are joining forces to host this year’s celebrity dancing competition, which features big stars including Ben Cousins, James Stewart, Lisa McCune and chef Julie Goodwin.
The trailer marks Chris’ first appearance on the show after jumping from Channel Ten last year and replacing long-running DWTS presenter Daryl Somers.
In the video, Sonia and Chris are dressed in dazzling outfits as they drive around in a disco ball-themed ‘star catcher’ car to locate the cast members for this year’s season.
“Let’s get them,” Sonia says to Chris before he steps on the car’s accelerator.

“They must be somewhere near her.”
Meanwhile, singer Samantha Jade, who will also take part in the dance comp, performs a rendition of the hit Can’t Take My Eyes Off You over the trailer.
Among the stars who appeared in the DWTS promo was AFL legend Ben Cousins, who has long been rumored to be participating.

The 45-year-old football star, who has spent the last few years rebuilding his life after a fall from grace, explained that part of his redemption arc will include reality TV.
Next up was four-time Gold Logie winner Lisa McCune, another long-time part of the series.
Another much-loved star – MasterChef Australia fan favorite Julie Goodwin – appeared next in the promo which caused a storm.

Other stars included comedian Nikki Osborne, SAS star Ant Middleton, Home and Away’s James Stewart and ex-WAG Nadia Bartel
“Life is too short to say no to something like this,” Goodwin told The Daily Telegraph.
“Never in my wildest dreams did I think I could dance,” she continued
“I’ve always enjoyed watching the show and watching people dance, but it never occurred to me that one day I might be able to do it too.”
Comedian Nikki Osborne appeared in the promo, as did Better Homes and Gardens host Adam Dovile.
Olympian and former senator Nova Peris was also seen jogging in the video, before singer Samantha Jade sang a tune.
Home and Away’s James Stewart was seen jogging along the beach before chef Hayden Quinn showed up.
Former AFL WAG fashion designer Nadia Bartel worked out her angles in a photoshoot in the promotional video.
They joined AFL legend Shane Crawford and SAS Australia’s Ant Middleton, who slid into the frame on a rope.
This year’s stars are currently rehearsing.
Dancing with the Stars will premiere on Channel Seven later this year.
Last year it was announced that Brown would replace long-serving host Daryl Somers as co-host.
Fans are already impressed with Brown and Kruger’s on-camera chemistry after the pair co-hosted the TV Week Logie Awards.

Brown was rumored to co-host DWTS with Kruger last year, but according to The Sunday Telegraph, he missed the opportunity due to a “miscalculation” over his contract.
TV bosses were ‘forced to extend invitation to Somers’ after misjudging Brown’s start date at Channel Seven.
Brown officially joined Seven in July last year – which was too late for the show’s producers, BBC Studios, to start filming.
