What’s happening with The Amazing Race and Survivor? Recently, CBS chief Kelly Kahl spoke with Deadline about the uncertain future for the two TV shows.
As reported earlier, production on season 33 of The Amazing Race and season 41 of Survivor has shut down because of the coronavirus pandemic. Season 32 of The Amazing Race is set to air this fall and season 41 of Survivor has been pushed back.
Speaking to Deadline, Kahl said both CBS TV shows will resume production when it is safe to do so:
In terms of Survivor and The Amazing Race, we’ll get those into production as soon as we can safely get back into production. That’s going to be a little more complicated because we literally have to navigate some international waters.”
Kahl added:
If we get back into production [on The Amazing Race], you can trust that we have plotted out all of the safe and smart ways of doing it. Some countries are more affected than others and these producers are some of the best in the business and they will plot out a race that sticks to countries that are safe.”
What do you think? Do you watch Survivor and/or The Amazing Race? How much longer do you think CBS should wait to resume filming?
I am so ready for the Amazing Race to come back! It’s my favorite reality series. We’re looking forward to it!!
I will wait forever for Amazing Race. I’d rather have to wait a few months and know everyone is safe than have it start too early and run into problems. I think Survivor is a little different. Contestants can be tested prior to starting the series and since they are isolated, should be pretty safe to do the show.
I’m really missing the “Amazing Race”. First they said it would air onMay 20th and I was al set to see my favorite program. Last minute it was changed and the Survivor aid its final show of the season. I’m so bummed out and disappointed that my favorite show didnt air. I understand that covid-19 is everywhere, but come on already@ I’m having Race withdrawals.
I LOVE SURVIVOR! I’ve seen every one of its 40 seasons and look forward to season 41. Not a fan of The Amazing Race. I like the scenery but all that running around is too frenetic for me.
I love The Amazing Race……and Survivor is a close 2nd…..I hope they can find ways to keep these shows alive and get rid of the garbage like Naked & Afraid and ALL the Island love shows!….they are brutal!
I agree about getting rid of sleaze shows like Naked and Afraid and all the island shows. What a total waste of time. Obviously someone is watching them or they wouldn’t last but there is so much more out there that is better. Producers are really stretching for these things.
I love the amazing race. Don’t watch survivor but I know lots of people that do.
I called it quits with season 40 of Survivor. Felt it was a fitting bookend to my experience, but it really did highlight to me that I do not like this so-called “Nu-Skool” way of playing.
I love both shows… especially The Amazing Race! I sure hope neither of those shows are cancelled… I’ll wait if I have to to see those. How ’bout canceling Big Brother, or those filthy island shows that should be x rated? Or that Bachelor train wreck!!! Even Naked & Afraid is idiotic.
I agree about the Bachelor and Naked and Afraid are a waste of air time.
I think The Amazing Race can survive albeit a modified race route. Might have to be a domestic TAR for the next few seasons until it’s safe to travel the world freely and borders re-open
I watched Both Reality Shows On Hulu, The Amazing Race and Survivor That is — all old series 1 thru 33! Will Seasons 34 and up be available to binge on soon? Would be nice, to sit and watch during Covid 19! Thank-You Enjoy The Seasons!!
