The Amazing Race was one of the first shows to shut down production at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Production was underway on season 33 of the CBS series but, in late February, Phil Keoghan and other producers stopped the race and sent everyone home.
While promoting his new CBS series, Tough as Nails, Keoghan spoke about the decision to halt the production of the reality competition series. He said the following, per Variety:
“My heart went out to the cast, who had taken time off work, who had sacrificed a lot to come onto the show. We got everybody home safely to their families, which we told them was our number one priority. It’s the one thing we lose sleep over, making sure that we can get these amazing people around the world safely. It didn’t take long for us to realize that we hadn’t overreacted, that we had done the right thing. Our goal is obviously to get back out and to finish Season 33. But I am a little disheartened by what I’m seeing with the number of cases.”
Production on season 32 on The Amazing Race was wrapped over a year ago and that season is slated to premiere in the fall.
What do you think? Are you a fan of The Amazing Race TV series? Will you be watching season 32 in the fall?
Please don’t go. My number one show for the past fifteen years.
Amazing race is one of my favorites shows so sad!!
I don’t understand why a completed season hasn’t been aired yet. Amazing Race is one of my favorite shows of all time. Please stop postponing airing it!! I hope the season that was interrupted during production will pick up where it left off.
I don’t understand why a season that was filmed a year and a half ago has yet to air. With most shows now on break, why is it that season of Amazing Race has not been slated? This show had good ratings. Please come back. We need more of Amazing Race. I particularly liked seeing some of the Survivor and/or Big Brothers contestants duke it out. Please don’t cancel a show that has always been AMAZING!
Cant wait for it to come back on. Only watch minimal reality TV, but we’ve seen every season of the Race and dont want it to end. Would really prefer it goes back to twice a year, like Survivor. Please keep the seasons coming. Its fun and so interesting to see lifestyles in various countries.
Quelle superbe émission c’est bien de valeur.
Love watching the Amazing Race!!!Missing it a lot but more important to keep players safe!!!
Of course I will watch it I have watched every season since it started. Even if by chance they can’t in 2020 but will in 2021 I’ll still watch it….I am a true fan of The Amazing Race
Love the AMAZING RACE. so disappointed that it didn’t start in June. Looking forward to season 32 in the fall.
Can’t wait for the next season of Amazing Race. Absolutely love it, and have read that it is going back to the old format, which is excellent.
We love The Amazing Race. Much better than Big Brother or Survivor!! Really looking forward to watching it this fall. We wish everyone the best of health & look forward to Season 33! God bless all of you.
Hurry up already…my favorite show.
I sure wish everyone well – stay healthy and happy – sure hope your show returns. God Bless.
I live the amazing race . My favorite reality show. I understand the necessity to shut down but hope eventually you will be able to resume filming. I have really missed the show!!
