Allison Holker has returned to So You Think You Can Dance — this time, as a judge.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Holker shared on her Instagram story (which has since expired) on Thursday (Feb. 8) that she was “back on set,” while also shouting out her “glam team.”

Holker married her late husband, Stephen “tWitch” Boss, in 2013, after connecting in 2010 as SYTYCD all-stars, per People. tWitch died by suicide in December 2022. Prior to his death, he appeared as a judge in Seasons 15 and 17 of the hit dance competition series.

The news of Holker assuming her new SYTYCD post was first revealed last December. She will serve as a judge alongside Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Jojo Siwa, the latter of whom was announced as Nigel Lythgoe‘s replacement in the wake of sexual assault allegations made against him from former fellow judge Paula Abdul and two anonymous All American Girl contestants. Meanwhile, host Cat Deeley is also set to return.

Last September, Holker paid tribute to her late husband on what would have been his 41st birthday, taking to Instagram to share that he is “forever on our hearts and minds carrying us, guiding us and lifting us.”

“We feel your presence every day and will forever be grateful for the beautiful times we shared together,” she continued. “We feel your arms wrapping around us and holding us up on this day. Happy birthday my love @sir_twitch_alot a day we will always celebrate the gift you were and still are to this world. We love you!”

So You Think You Can Dance Season 18 debuts at 9/8c March 4 on FOX. Next-day streaming will be available on Hulu.
