Phil Keoghan, get your passport ready! CBS has announced that The Amazing Race has been renewed for the 2016-17 season. It’s unknown if the network has renewed the venerable competition series for one or two cycles at this point but we do know there will at least be a 29th competition.
Hosted by Keoghan, the 28th cycle of The Amazing Race is currently airing on Friday nights. This season features 11 pairs of contestants racing around the world in pursuit of a million dollar prize. Each team features at least one Internet celebrity.
The current season’s ratings are on par with last spring’s edition, averaging a 1.11 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 5.77 million viewers. That’s also about the same as last Fall’s edition.
Today, the network announced 2016-17 season renewals of 10 other shows as well — 2 Broke Girls, Blue Bloods, Elementary, Hawaii Five-0, Madam Secretary, Mom, NCIS: Los Angeles, NCIS: New Orleans, Scorpion, and Survivor.
What do you think? Are you still a fan of The Amazing Race? Would you like to see a new twist added to the competition next season?
I have watched every episode of Amazing Race. I missed it this fall since it didn’t start the same week as Survivor. Please do not cancel. This is the best. Can’t wait for the new season. It is true entertainment.
The Amazing Race is my favorite show, please don’t cancel. Many new shows are just boring.
Dee, The amazing race is just that-AMAZING! If a new season isn’t in the works,you can take my TV and cable.Just think about the production and entertainment this show provides. We see all parts of the world,cultures,societies,lifestyles,etc. I could go on and on. Phil,outstanding. Don’t change anything,it,s perfect just the way it is. Love the players and what they bring to the show. PLEASE give us wholesome,credible,entertainment.
I am still waiting…. where is the Amazing Race!!
I love this show very very much, can’t wait for the new season.
Been hooked since I started watching it some 5 yrs ago.
I just love the Amazing Race, can’t wait for the new season! CBS really needs to cancel 2 Broke Girls, I watched it once, never again, not funny at all. Don’t know how this show gets renewed. The Amazing Race is awesome! Please return it to Sunday night, thank you.
The Amazing Race should be back on CBS, & Sherlock, or one of the silly assed NCIS shows can be dropped, as they hold no interest for me. You can also drop Madame Secretary, & I won’t lose any sleep
I MISS THE AMAZING RACE SOOOO MUCH THAT I WATCHED SEASON 1 AGAIN & AMZAING RACE CANADA. I AGREE THAT TAR IS GETTING SHUNNED BY CBS BECAUSE IT IS NOT LOVED BY JULIE CHEN WHO REALLY IS INCREDIBLY POWERFUL AT CBS. PLEASE SEND CBS REQUESTS TO SCHEDULE SEASON 29.
I have re watched every season multiple times, including all of the Canadian ones, all of the Asian ones and all of the Australian ones.
Yes! I love Amazing Race! What about a twist of all contestants over 40 or 50. Show that you can be healthy and fit beyond your 20’s.
I think it’s a crying shame that CBS has to be soooo secretive about WHEN The Amazing Race will begin it’s new season 2016-2017. I’ve looked all over the place (started with CBS and gave up then went to numerous other sites) but not a one can spit out the new season start date. Does CBS actually know when it will premier or are you holding it hostage?
I love The Amazing Race it is one of the two shows I watch religiously on TV. I will be devastated if you cancel it.
This is one of the only shows I record! My family and I love the Amazing Race.. please don’t cancel it!!
I was disappointed that TAR was not on the fall schedule. Hopefully it will renewed in the spring. Love this show
Please do not cancel TAR. I’m disappointed it was left off the fall schedule a nd replace by Mcgyver…are you kidding me…One of the best shows.. There are so many stupid shows on
PLEASE do not cancel TAM! This is one of the BEST shows on with no violence, sex, and bad language (well sometimes a bad word slips out but thats OK). You need to quit bringing on celebrities and bring on just regular people. America loves to see the average Joe win these competitions! And PLEASE bring it back to Sundays. There are to many family sports on Friday night. I have watched this show since its inception and NEVER miss it.
