Simone Biles and Mr. T to compete in 'Dancing With the Stars' season 24

Prepare for one of the most epic seasons yet!

Us Weekly confirmed the names of two contestants for season 24 of "Dancing With the Stars" -- and expect some incredible (and athletic) moves on the dance floor.

Gymnast Simone Biles and wrestler Mr. T will be shakin' their groove thang in the upcoming season.

Simone Biles, who won four gold medals at the 2016 Olympics, follows in the footsteps of her fellow teammate Laurie Hernandez who took home the coveted Mirror Ball trophy last season.

Shortly after the Rio Olympics, Simone, 19, expressed interest in being on the show, but previous commitments prevented her from doing so. It looks she has more free time on her hands now!

Mr. T, whose full name is Laurence Tureaud, last appeared on the small screen in 2014 TV movie "WrestleMania XXX." The 64-year-old, who has remained out of the spotlight for quite some time now, is best known for his role as B.A. Baracus in the 1980s TV series "The A-Team" and as boxer Clubber Lang in the 1982 film "Rocky III."

"Production has been trying to get Mr. T to do the show for years!" a source told Entertainment Tonight. "He will be a great contestant this season."

In addition to Simone and Mr. T, new parents Maks Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd will also make their return to the ballroom, announcing the news on "Good Morning America" earlier this week.

"Bachelor" star Nick Viall may also join the already star-studded cast. Unsurprisingly, 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton declined an offer from the network.

The new season of "Dancing With the Stars" premieres on March 20 on ABC.
