BBC Worldwide and free-to-air (FTA) network Teletica have extended their partnership to produce a fourth season of Dancing with the Stars Costa Rica.

The show, set to premiere on 10 September, aims to maintain the high ratings registered for the three previous seasons, which captured the audience on Costa Rica’s most watched FTA channel.

“There are few dancing shows that have managed to reach the same audience and popularity levels as Dancing with the Stars,” said Anna Gordon, EVP and GM, BBC Worldwide América Latina/US Hispanics. “We believe the new season on Teletica will enable the show to keep gaining fans across the Central American market.”

The fourth season of the Costa Rican adaptation will be hosted by Randall Vargas and Shirley Álvarez, and will see ten couples formed by a celebrity and a regular contestant competing.

In addition to the traditional jury, viewers will be allowed to cast their votes through the official Dancing with the Stars website at teletica.com.

Dancing with the Stars has been adapted for 53 countries worldwide, registering consistently high ratings and accumulating over 300 seasons.
