Production
[edit]Much like the previous four seasons of the series, the twelfth season will feature the return of themed nights. Throughout the season, themes will include nights dedicated to Miley Cyrus and the film Footloose. Additionally, other themes will include a night dedicated to the toy-film brand Barbie, "60s Night", "Sports Night" and "Who Are You Fest".[1] Previously used themes such as "Soundtrack Of My Life" and "Thanksgiving" will be featured once again after having already been represented in previous seasons.[1]
Contestants
[edit]The contestants were revealed between August 15 and September 23, 2024.[1][2][3] The season features 15 contestants divided into three groups of five.[1] This is the first season since the seventh season to not feature Wild Card contestants or contestants that join the competition later than the rest.
On August 15, 2024, it was confirmed that former contestants such as Dick Van Dyke, Jewel, Ne-Yo, and DeMarcus Ware would appear as Masked Ambassadors for the new contestants throughout the season. Each Ambassador has a connection to the contestant and serves as a clue to their identity.[1]
