The Olympic gymnast and the 'A-Team' alum are reportedly joining the cast for the upcoming installment of the ABC dancing competition series.

AceShowbiz - Here's the first two celebrities reported to appear on "Dancing with the Stars" season 24. Simone Biles and Mr. T are ready to compete in the next season of the reality dancing competition series, a source tells ET.

Simone was rumored to be eyed for the show last season, but she ruled out her participation due to her schedule. "I would love to [join 'DWTS'], but the fall season won't work because [of] the tour," the Olympic medalist said last August. "If I could do the spring season, I would love to do that!"

As for Mr. T, a source close to the show's production says, "Production has been trying to get Mr. T to do the show for years!" The source goes on gushing, "He will be a great contestant this season." The actor is best known for his roles as B. A. Baracus on the 1980s television series "The A-Team" and as boxer Clubber in 1982's film "Rocky III".

Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd recently confirmed that they would be back for "DWTS" season 24. Peta, who welcomed her first child with fiance Maks in January, said on "Good Morning America", "It's been some time. I'm definitely a little bit nervous, but I'm very excited to get back."

Maksim is ready to defend his champion title although it means he has to compete with his fiancee, who won season 22 with Nyle DiMarco. "I'm also [not at all] afraid of this one, because I don't know if everybody remembers the history, but the last time we were together on the same season, I won," he said. "So this guy is the champ in the family. I can have any ball she has! We'll see what happens."

"DWTS" season 24 is set to kick off March 20 on ABC.
