Tonioli, Inaba and Goodman have been serving as Dancing with the Stars' judges since its first season debuted back in 2005.
Several professional dancers, who are fan favorites, may also be absent from the show's lineup next season.
According to ThePost sources, four-timeDancing with the Stars champion Derek Hough will be skipping the season to work on a new scripted series he and his sister, fellow former Dancing with the Stars pro Julianne Hough, are developing for the Starz cable network. According to prior reports, the series, dubbed Blackpool, will focus on the "darker" side of the world of competitive ballroom dancing.
Fellow pro Mark Ballas is also in negotiations to star in his own reality series, according to ThePost. While the newspaper reported Cheryl Burke is also unlikely to return to the show, she told Parade magazine in late May that as long as Dancing with the Stars wants to have her, she'll be there.
A change that has been confirmed for next season, however, is the show's format. ABC announced in early May this fall's edition of Dancing with the Stars will not feature a results show and each week's elimination results will be folded into the ballroom dancing competition's two-hour Monday night broadcasts.
Dancing with the Stars' eighteenth season is also expected to feature the same once-a-week broadcast format when it airs in early 2014.
