El Gran Show season 18

Season one of the 2017 edition of El Gran Show premiered on April 1, 2017.

This season also featured a new segment called "Bailando por El Show", in which every week two new couples faced each other to get a pass to the original competition. The VIP Jury, which was formed by a member of the artistic medium, is no longer incorporated this season. On April 15, a special presentation was made for the 10 years of the show, so the third week was filed on the following date.

On June 3, 2017, Diana Sánchez and Maylor Pérez were declared the winners, Christian Domínguez and Isabel Acevedo finished second, while Andrea Luna and Marlon Pérez finished third.

Couples
Celebrities and professional dancers were announced during the first week of the program. Christian Dominguez and Isabel Acevedo returned after being disqualified last season. In addition to Acevedo, Yamila Molina, George Neyra and Mariale Pineda returned to the program as professional dancers, the rest of the dancers are new to the track.

Hosts and judges
Gisela Valcárcel returned as host while Morella Petrozzi, Carlos Cacho, Michelle Alexander and Pachi Valle Riestra returned as judges. The VIP Judge was not incorporated this season. On May 27, Alfredo Di Natale (ex-judge, professional dancer and director of the Arthur Murray dance school) joined the panel as a guest judge, replacing Michelle Alexander who did not appear for personal reasons. In the final, there were ten VIP judges, who along with the main judges determined the winning couple.
