Dancing With The Stars shocker, Maksim Chermkovskiy may not return. The rumors are swirling again as Dancing With the Stars prepares to unveil a new cast, but the big question is: will Maksim Chermkovskiy return this season?

He certainly didn’t endear himself to the judges last season when he made arrogant quips to Len Goodman about how the elder statesman should leave the show. Even though he claimed in the same breath that “this is my show, you know,” (clip below) is Maks calling it a day and turning in his dancing shoes? He’s hinted that he might, and ABC won’t comment.

The DWTS producers won’t reveal which pros will return for the 14th season until they announce the latest round of celebrities, which will be on February 28 on Good Morning America.

When the new season begins March 19, there would be a gaping void without Maks that audiences would hate a new pro to fill. Whether you love him, loathe him or a little of both, you must admit that he brings controversy and fantastic dancing to the show.
