This special episode also marks the return of team dances, with the eight remaining couples divided into two groups to compete.
The show welcomed "Wicked" star Cynthia Erivo as the guest judge. She was joined by a host of Broadway talent, including Heather Headley, Michael James Scott, Rodney Ingram, and Kyra Belle Johnson. Former contestant Sherri Shepherd also made an appearance.
Due to ABC's coverage of the upcoming 2026 midterm elections, "Dancing with the Stars" aired on Monday, November 2, deviating from its usual Tuesday night slot. The election coverage was scheduled to take place on Tuesday, November 3.
Additionally, new professional dancer Adele Zaikman was absent from the November 2 episode due to illness, missing the opening number. She had previously debuted as a pro this season after winning "Dancing with the Stars: Next Pro."
