# El Gran Show season 21

Reyes del Show (transl. Show Kings) is the season four of the 2017 edition of El Gran Show premiered on October 21, 2017.
On October 28, a special program called "El Otro Show" was presented, which celebrated the 30-year career of Gisela Valcárcel. For this reason the second week was presented on the following date.

## Cast
### Couples

The celebrities who would compete this season were scheduled to be the first three of the three seasons, but due to various issues, four of them were not part of the cast. Christian Domínguez did not participate in the season due to personal issues, so he had to pay a penalty for breach of contract. Anahí de Cárdenas and Belén Estévez did not participate due to injuries, while Andrea Luna's absence was not specified, until she announced days later that the producers of the program did not decide to call her for unspecified reasons. In the first week it was announced that Dominguez's replacement would be the dancer Edson Dávila (being the second dancer, after Lucas Piró, to participate as a hero) and that Karen Dejo would replace Estévez. On October 28, it was announced that former participant Leslie Shaw would return to the program to replace Anahí de Cárdenas, being paired with Waldir Felipa (Estévez's dance partner).
The dancers Maylor Pérez, Kevin Ubillus and Alexa Montoya were replaced by Sergio Álvarez, Pedro Ibáñez and Melanie Salazar, respectively.
