After filming season 34 over the summer, The Amazing Race is back for you to watch in fall 2022. The reality competition show first aired in 2001 and, over 20 years later, contestants are still signing up in search of the $1 million prize.

The race is split into legs, where contestants receive clues and must navigate around foreign countries to complete physically and mentally challenging tasks. If they’re the last one to make it to their final destination for that leg, they could be eliminated. If they can persevere, the final team will earn the seven-figure sum in the end.
The Amazing Race season 33 was unique compared to the dozens before it. Filming was shut down early on in production due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there was a positive that came out of the way the show now works.
"... I think one of the best things that came out of all of this is we literally got our own plane — a plane that says The Amazing Race on it. And that was for all of us. For years, we’ve all been talking about wouldn’t it be great if we didn’t have to line up in airports and wouldn’t it be great if we didn’t have to go through all these crazy security procedures. To get on a plane that was a bit of a game changer, I’ve got to be honest with you," Phil told Entertainment Weekly (opens in new tab).
It’s unclear how previous seasons’ precautions will play into the upcoming one, but regardless, we’re ready to break out our passports (figuratively, of course).
