Strictly Come Dancing returned for its nineteenth series with a launch show on 18 September 2021 on BBC One, with the live shows beginning on 25 September.[1] Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman returned as hosts, whilst Rylan Clark-Neal returned to host Strictly: It Takes Two, alongside new presenter Janette Manrara, who replaced Zoe Ball following her departure from the show.[2][3]
In June 2021, the BBC announced that Craig Revel Horwood, Shirley Ballas and Motsi Mabuse would return to the judging panel. It was also announced that original professional Anton Du Beke, who served as a guest judge in the previous series, would replace Bruno Tonioli on the panel, who due to travel restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, did not return for the second year in a row.[4][5]
In July 2021, executive producer Sarah James said the show would return for a "full-length series", with fifteen celebrities, themed weeks, pre-recorded professional group dances, a Christmas special, but not a Blackpool Tower Ballroom special.[2]
In September a row broken out over whether or not dancers should be vaccinated. Reports had suggested that three dancers had refused to be vaccinated, with one unnamed celebrity already having to self-isolate since the show's launch night was filmed.[6]

In March 2021, the BBC announced that all sixteen professional dancers from the eighteenth series would return in 2021.[7] However, in June, the BBC revealed that Janette Manrara and Anton Du Beke would not be reprising their dancing roles: Manrara was announced as a new co-host of It Takes Two, succeeding Zoe Ball, while Du Beke was revealed to be replacing Bruno Tonioli on the judging panel.[3][5]
In July 2021, the BBC announced that four new professional dancers would be joining the fourteen remaining returning pros. These are: six-time Italian Latin and Ballroom Champion Nikita Kuzmin, who was also a professional dancer on the German version of the show in 2020; reigning South African Latin Champion Cameron Lombard, who was also a finalist on South Africa's Got Talent in 2012; Polish Open Latin Champion Jowita Przystał, who won The Greatest Dancer in 2020; and World Junior Latin American Champion Kai Widdrington, who was also a Britain's Got Talent finalist in 2012 and former professional and two-time finalist on the Irish version of Dancing with the Stars.[8]
Graziano Di Prima received a celebrity partner for the first time since the sixteenth series whilst Nadiya Bychkova and Neil Jones received a celebrity partner for the first time since the seventeenth series. Nancy Xu received a celebrity partner for the first time, as did new professionals Nikita Kuzmin and Kai Widdrington, while Luba Mushtuk and other new professionals Cameron Lombard and Jowita Przystał did not receive a partner.[9][10]
