Before ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" return to television on March 16 for its 10th anniversary, executive producers have given viewers a few hints as to what to expect for Season 20 of the hit show.

Derek Hough will not be returning to the next season of "DWTS," Glamour reports. Although it was a hard decision to make, Hough had to leave to take an offer from Radio City Music Hall as the male lead in "New York Spring Spectacular." No worries, though: Hough will return for Season 21.

Executive producers Rob Wade and Joe Sungkur talked about the new innovations for Season 20.

"We are going to expand on viewer interaction and hand more power to the viewers," Wade said. "All-Access will be bigger and better, and also we're going to expand that behind-the-scenes access from not just the performance night, but to live feeds of rehearsals throughout the week at McCadden, where the dancers rehearse."

Wade also said he wants the season to be about celebration and family, so look forward to seeing a reunion with former competitors.

Len Goodman will take a break after Season 20 to focus more on "Strictly Come Dancing" in England. He also has an ill mother to look after, and traveling between the U.S. and the U.K. is too much to handle at times.

The next season of "DWTS" will have familiar faces of dancers that fans have not seen in a while, International Business Times reported. The hit show will also bring back Latin Night, which was a huge success in the past and is thinking of bringing a Classical Night for the future.

Meanwhile, "DWTS" pro Karina Smirnoff is officially engaged to Jason Adelman, AOL reports. He popped the question over the weekend. Smirnoff was previously engaged to her "DWTS" co-star Maksim Chmerkovskiy back in 2009, and in 2011, she was engaged to baseball player Brad Penny.
