LOS ANGELES, Oct. 15 (UPI) -- ABC said it will announce the cast for its upcoming U.S. competition show "Skating with the Stars" during an episode of "Dancing with the Stars" next month.
The "Skating" names are to be revealed on the Nov. 2 edition of "Dancing."
"You've seen what happens when celebrities take on the ballroom, now see what happens when they hit the ice on blades of steel, in 'Skating with the Stars,'" ABC said in a news release Friday.
"The new series from BBC Worldwide Productions pairs a celebrity with a world-class ice skater as they prepare to compete in front of a live audience in a televised ice skating competition. The skating pairs will be critiqued by a panel of expert judges and will receive a set of scores based on artistry and technique and by viewers at home, with one couple being eliminated each week."
"Skating" is to kick off its six-episode run with a live premiere episode Nov. 22.
