Also, Misty Copeland will be a guest judge again. Also note that World Of Dance will be switching to a two-hour telecast on Wednesday. More info below on the cut rounds and episodes 8, 9, and 10.

NBC tells TheWrap exclusively that the summer dance competition series starring Jennifer Lopez, Derek Hough, NE-YO and Jenna Dewan is bringing five famed choreographers and performers in as guest mentors for its currently-airing second season. These include Paula Abdul, Julianne Hough, Mel B, Savion Glover and Ciara. Professional ballerina Misty Copeland has been set as a guest judge.

The first batch of short-term mentors will begin their residency just as the show shifts to its new night, time and length.

Currently airing after “America’s Got Talent” at 10 p.m. on Tuesdays, “World of Dance” is switching to a two-hour telecast on Wednesdays at 8 — with the two episodes of “The Cut” round (the reason for the guest mentors’ entrance) set to air Wednesday, Aug. 22 and Wednesday, Aug. 29.
