The 10th season of Nuestra Belleza Latina, Univision’s popular beauty pageant-themed reality show, will be an all-star affair.

The series will mark a decade of talent, beauty and behind-the-scenes drama with its first-ever all-star edition, starting Feb. 28 at 9 p.m. (ET). Twelve past competitors — selected from a group of 99 finalists — will get a second chance to strut down the catwalk and seek the Nuestra Belleza Latina crown.

Ahead of the Feb. 28 premiere, the show will take to social media starting Feb. 8, revealing which past contestants will return for a second chance at the crown on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Nuestra Belleza Latina will also showcase its “beauty with a purpose” aspect with features on how the series has changed the lives of past winners and contestants.

Actress and model Chiquinquirá Delgado and TV/radio host Javier Poza will return as hosts of the series. Francisca Lachapel, last year’s winner and now part of Univision’s morning show Despierta América, will be “social media reporter.”

The show’s official website will offer exclusive videos; features on past queens, show talent and contestants; recaps of past seasons; and reports from behind the scenes. Viewers can also watch videos on Uvideos, Univision’s over-the-top platform.

'Nuestra Belleza Latina': There’s An App for That

Univision’s first licensed mobile game app for one of its shows is a thing of beauty.

A mobile and tablet game app for the network’s Sunday evening beauty-themed reality competition Nuestra Belleza Latina was launched in mid-March.

The app, named “Nuestra Belleza Latina Casino,” features this season’s contestants. It’s free to download and play and currently available to Android-based smartphone users. Apple’s App Store plans to add an iOS version of it by the end of April, Univision said.

Univision partnered with game developer and producer Huuuge for the NBL-themed app; Huuuge previously launched eight casino apps, including four that have ranked No. 1 on the Android app store’s “Top Game” chart.

“Nuestra Belleza Latina Casino” lets fans of the series play games along with their favorite contestants and former NBL queens. The app features three slot machines: “The Mansion”, “The Runway” and “The Gala.” Three card games can also be found on the app. Users can also hang out in the “Club de Belleza” gallery, which will be updated throughout the season with photos and videos of the current contestants.

“Our viewers can’t get enough of Nuestra Belleza Latina, now in its ninth season,” Tonia O’Connor, president of content distribution and corporate business development at Univision Communications, said. “We are expanding the successful and growing NBL franchise by partnering with a leading app developer. It’s a partnership that puts us front and center and allows us to break through the consumer challenges of app discovery.”

Univision did not say if mobile and tablet apps are under development for other shows it owns.
