xFOX will let the Cat (Deeley) out of the bag again on May 21.

The network has set that day — it’s a Thursday — as the premiere date for the fifth season of its top summer series, So You Think You Can Dance. The premiere will run for two hours and will be followed by another two-hour episode on Wednesday, May 27.

Following the conclusion of the audition rounds, the series will settle into its regular schedule of performance shows on Wednesdays and results on Thursdays.

Deeley will return as host, as will judges Mary Murphy and Nigel Lythgoe (who’s also one of the executive producers). Auditions for the show are still going on, with dates in Denver (March 12), Memphis, Tenn. (March 16) and Seattle (March 28). More information on the tryouts is at FOX.com.

Last season’s winner, Joshua Allen, walked away with a $250,000 prize and an offer for a role in the movie Step Up 3-D, directed by sometime SYTYCD judge Adam Shankman.
