By

The 'Dancing With The Stars' Season is right around the corner but many fans of the show are already disappointed as Derek Hough and Cherel Burke will take a break from the show. It is also rumored around that the results night goes online.

It was reported that Cheryl Burke will move to NBC, while Derek is busy working on a show at Radio City Music Hall.

Many fans will miss the two but the show must go on! In an interview with People, executive producer Rob Wade said that many talented dancers will be featured during the upcoming season of Dancing With the Stars.

"Cheryl was dancing for nine years. It takes a real toll on the mind and the body," Wade added. "I'm glad she had the guts to say, 'This is a great gig, but I want to try something else.' And it's great that Derek has gone off and done this, but he'll come back even stronger, even better," Wade explained.

He added, "There is still a huge amount of fan favorites we can bring back."

At this point, only Sharna Burgess, Mark Ballas, Val Chmerkovskiy and Tony Dovolani are confirmed to be in. Witney Carson, Emma Slater and Peta Murgatroyd are reported to be dancing as well. Many also suspected that Karina Smirnoff may be back, since Bruke will not participate.

Other stars who are also rumored to be included are actress Roseanne Barr and John F. Kennedy's nephew Robert F. Kennedy Jr, an environment law crusader.

The pro slate will be announced on Good Morning America on February 11.

On the other hand, there have been rumors on the possible inclusion of the recently removed results show every Tuesday night, report by Christian Post.

It was learned @DWTSGossip tweeted that the show may once again be featured twice a week on ABC.

"Hmm! There's a chance #DWTS will bring back the results show ... On Tuesdays. Yay? Nay? I've gotten used to one night of DWTS a week," the account posted.

However, these rumors did not confirm by ABC or the production staff of the show.

"Dancing With the Stars" season 20 is expected to premiere on March 16.
