Will season 4 be canceled on Telemundo?
After three successful seasons in which two women became winners and we await the winner of the current installment, it was very likely that the chain would seek a repeat of the bet.
Although the network hasn’t announced a fourth season, Telemundo could develop a new episode if it decides to do so, as it owns the distribution rights in the United States.

Where will the new version be seen?
According to the Alliance’s plans, the new product will be seen in Las Estrellas and likely in ViX for Mexico and Latin America. However, this will not be available in the USA, since the owner in this country is still Telemundo.

Can you record a joint version?
Now that the format has two owners, depending on the country, the possibility of a joint version, popularly known as a crossover, is on the table.
However, this might be impossible as each version has its own team, participants, drivers and locations, making transport and shifts impossible.
