For the upcoming season, Holker will be joining the judges' table alongside veteran judge Nigel Lythgoe, 'Dancing With the Stars' alum Maksim Chmerkovskiy, and guest judge Comfort Fedoke.

The fan-favorite show will be hosted by Cat Deeley. The seasoned dancer who made her debut on 'SYTYCD' took to her Instagram Story on Wednesday, February 7, to share two images in which the first one featured a selfie as she expressed her gratitude to her "glam team."

The second photo showed Holker dressed in sweats in what looked like her trailer.

"Back on set," the mother-of-three wrote on the picture, as she tagged the official Instagram account for 'SYTYCD.'

Inside Season 18 of 'So You Think You Can Dance'

In December 2023, Fox announced the return of the beloved dance competition series for season 18.

"Each week, contestants will compete in new, intense dance challenges that will give them a real taste of the career, from performing in a music video or a football halftime show to going toe-to-toe on stage with a Broadway performer," read a press release suggesting the show will follow a similar routine. 

"In the end, it will be up to the judges to decide their fate. Eliminations will take place weekly, with the top 3 finalists competing in the season’s spectacular finale, but only one will win the $100,000 grand prize and the highly coveted title of 'So You Think You Can Dance' champion," the statement concludes.

Bringing interesting changes to the show apart from the performance, "this season will also debut new storytelling elements to further capture the authentic ups and downs experienced by professional dancers."

Additionally, fans of the show "will get a documentary-style inside look at the contestants’ dynamics, following them throughout the competition as they go through their personal and competitive journeys, including the daily struggles, new relationships, personality clashes, and more."

'So You Think You Can Dance' played a pivotal role in Holker's life as it is where she met and performed alongside her late husband Stephen 'tWitch' Boss who died at the age of 40 in 2022, according to ET.

The pair each competed in the show's All-Star season and Boss has also served as a judge during season 17 of 'SYTYCD.'
