I think it's about that time for us to start a thread for the upcoming series of Strictly Come Dancing. We'll start getting cast announcements in August and the series begins in September, and always starting these threads gets me so excited for the new series to come! Plus, it's the 20th series so this should be a great and special year for the show!   The pros confirmed to be returning for the 2022 series are: Female Pros: - Dianne Buswell - Nadiya Bychkova - Amy Dowden - Karen Hauer - Katya Jones - Luba Mushtuk - Jowita Przystal - Nancy Xu Male Pros: - Graziano Di Prima - Neil Jones - Nikita Kuzmin - Cameron Lombard - Gorka Marquez - Giovanni Pernice - Johannes Radebe - Kai Widdrington We're probably bound to get another new male and female pro in place of Aljaž and Oti. I don't really know if that's true but we'll see. I'm hoping to see Cameron and Jowita get Pro spots to see what they can do with celebrities.  Regarding the judges: In May 2022, the BBC announced that Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Shirley Ballas and Anton Du Beke would return to the judging panel. Sadly it's also been confirmed that Bruno Tonioli would be leaving the show permanently.   Okay, so that's enough talk for the upcoming series. Let's use this thread for any upcoming Series 20 spoilers, speculations, talks, etc! 

FB never ceases to amaze me 

Ugh yeah I feel the same way. The couple routines are my favorite part of the show so it's definitely sad we get so few routines from the dancers.  I would prefer to have two duet routines over solos, tbh.

After seeing St. Vincent's incredible cover, I think "Lithium" by Nirvana would be good.

I agree people always say it’s “the best season ever”, but I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily awful. We’ll just have to wait and see.
