Lifetime is in search of new cast members for "Dance Moms" season 6. If the Instagram snapshots and updates of dance coach Abby Lee Miller are any indication, fans should expect massive talent as the newcomers enter the picture.

According to reports, Miller has been spotted filming episodes for the upcoming season. More importantly, she was seen on set with Sarah Hunt, who appeared in the last two seasons of the show. This led media outlets to believe that Hunt may be part of the show's upcoming run.

The likes of Brynn Rumfallo, who was featured last season, as well as Haley Vrolijk and Tea Adamson, who appeared on the show at one point, are likely making a comeback in "Dance Moms" season 6.

It is being said that Kendall Vertes and Kalani Hilliker will also be back for more drama and dance in the series. It is still unclear which of the rest of the members of the ensemble in season 5 will return, but there are speculations that Maddie Ziegler will not be around this season.

Miller's purported star student has expressed multiple times her plans to dip her toe in new fields. She also demonstrated her interest to pursue acting and said she also wants to try to hone her singing so that she can become what she described to Teen Vogue as a "triple threat."

Ziegler also stated that she wants to be part of a film or a scripted show, although she emphasized that she will still continue dancing her heart out. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Ziegler revealed that she desires "to move on to bigger and better things."

Lifetime is yet to make official who is returning to and who is leaving "Dance Moms." It also remains a mystery if Ziegler's younger sister Mackenzie will be back for season 6. The show returns next year but no premiere date has been set yet.
