Season one of the 2016 edition of El Gran Show premiered on April 30, 2017.
In this season returned the 11 golden palette and the lifeguard. In addition, the VIP Jury returned, this time not co-opted by the public, but by a celebrity, which gave couples extra points. This season was also the first to introduce a new segment called "Partner Switch-Up", where each of the celebrities had to leave their original partner and dance with a new professional dancer for a week (a segment similar to Dancing with the Stars used since season 18). In this segment, the show presented "same-sex dance" for the first time.
On July 23, 2016, model & reality TV star Milett Figueroa and Patricio Quiñones were declared the winners, actress & singer Fiorella Cayo and Jimy Garcia finished second, while singer & actor Christian Domínguez and Isabel Acevedo finished third. It was confirmed that from this season, the winning couple would no longer be chosen by the public votes, but by the main judges and ten invited judges.
